Well in theory the jars in the compiler built by Maven should also work with Ant and the other way around and also should it be possible to use the SWCs build by Maven with Ant.
For example if I build the distribution with maven and use that in an IDE I have seen the IDEs use the Ant targets (which were built with Maven) with the SWCs (which were also built by maven) without any problems. We need to ensure the files are "reasonably equal" (it doesn't break anything for ANT if the jars of the Maven build have additional static stuff in "META-INF" package, but the interesting stuff like all the class files and resources should be identical) Chris Am 21.03.20, 16:08 schrieb "Alex Harui" <[email protected]>: That's a good starting point, but I don't like the "should". I think it is a "must", otherwise, we can release broken functionality. The Ant release artifacts must be reproducible by Ant and the Maven release artifacts must be reproducible by Maven. It isn't sufficient to say that the "build" works in the released sources. Release artifacts are more than just the build output. Ant or Maven users may need to test a binary release artifacts/package with their local changes, not just the individual jars/swcs. To be picky, only the Maven artifacts need to be usable by Maven, and only the Ant artifacts need to be usable by Ant, although I'm assuming that's what you meant.

Also would I like to ask you not to formulate things like “The release artifacts must be built with X” but rather “The release artifacts should be usable by X” cause that’s what really matters. I hope you get what I mean. So far I have this: * The release artifacts should be usable by Maven * The release artifacts should be usable by Ant * The release should include tests, which ensure the correct function of the royale-maven-plugin * The release should include tests which ensure the correct function of the Ant targets * It should be possible to verify a release by comparing it’s binary artifacts for equality (reproducible builds) * It should be ensured a release candidate builds correctly with Ant and with Maven * The release process should ideally work on any machine Did I miss something?
