> It would be nice to have a makefile or somesuch to implement basic
targets like compile, install, and test, since maven's commands have gotten so
complicated.
Yeah, I agree with the idea that we should be able to issue one command
line and have that build everything correctly. I think layering something else
like Make on top of Maven would complicate things. Maven should be capable of
building a complex setup like this correctly without needing to wrap it in some
other build tool or some script. Several devs use IDEs and other tools that are
Maven-aware, and it would be good to keep things working smoothly.
I think this should be something for another Jira Issue, as it could take a
lot of work to figure out how to tell Maven what we want to do.
