----------------------------------
Summary: CLONE - Switch to using maven to build ZooKeeper
Key: ZOOKEEPER-2158
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-2158
Project: ZooKeeper
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: build
Reporter: laesunK
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
