Killua Huang commented on ZOOKEEPER-83:
---------------------------------------
So far, maven is a poplar and powerful way to build Java project. As Zookeeper
development, is it necessary to use maven to build ZK?
This jira ticket was created in 2008 and still open.
> Switch to using maven to build ZooKeeper
> ----------------------------------------
>
> Key: ZOOKEEPER-83
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-83
> Project: ZooKeeper
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: build
> Reporter: Hiram Chirino
> Assignee: Hiram Chirino
>
> Maven is a great too for building java projects at the ASF. It helps
> standardize the build a bit since it's a convention oriented.
> It's dependency auto downloading would remove the need to store the
> dependencies in svn, and it will handle many of the suggested ASF policies
> like gpg signing of the releases and such.
> The ZooKeeper build is almost vanilla except for the jute compiler bits.
> Things that would need to change are:
> * re-organize the source tree a little so that it uses the maven directory
> conventions
> * seperate the jute bits out into seperate modules so that a maven plugin
> can be with it
