Note also that you don't need to fiddle before building - this is more like a
one-time setup that tells your maven installation that it can reference the
Apache Maven Snapshot repository for artifacts - and that is where unreleased
things are.
It really makes no difference. I expect to be able
to extract the source code from svn onto a clean
machine and build it without any extra setup. Every
other open source project that I know works that
way, and I see no good reason why we should be
different.
We could do this, but it would impose the requirement that the build tooling be
in a particular, fixed relative location relative to the other projects. I was
trying to decouple these.
How so? When I built last night, I did a "mvn install"
on the build tools. My hazy understanding of the process
tells me that puts them in my local repo somehow, and
that makes the location of the source irrelevant, doesn't
it?
I'm fine with having to explicitly build the build tools
first, if that's what you mean.
