stack commented on HBASE-2099:
------------------------------
@Paul Smith Can you at least comment on how we might do src/contrib sub builds
using maven? My (old) understanding is that to do our current hierarchy --
i.e. hbase.jar and then src/contrib jars, hbase-stargate.jar, etc. -- is
possible but messy in maven. I did it previously but it was an ugly hack,
something I'd not like to repeat. Thanks (And thanks for the almost
volunteering (smile)).
> Move build to Maven
> -------------------
>
> Key: HBASE-2099
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-2099
> Project: Hadoop HBase
> Issue Type: Task
> Reporter: stack
>
> This issue is for discussing pros and cons of moving hbase build to Apache
> Maven.
> Maven, if you take on its paradigm, does a lot for you. There are also a
> bunch of nice plugins that do nice reports on state of project; findbugs,
> that nice plugin where you can give out urls that will resolve to lines in
> source code (a doxygen-like thing ... I've forgotten its name). Other
> examples are a docbook plugin that would do the build inline with doc build.
> We could start up the hbase book using docbook format and the hbase book
> would ride along with versions.
> As I see it -- and its a while since I've done this stuff so things may have
> since changed -- in the way of an easy move to maven is our src/contrib
> content. Maven would have these as distinct projects pulling in their hbase
> dependency or, if you wanted to take on the maven subproject notion, then,
> hbase would be at same level in build as the contribs -- it would be a
> subproject too just built before the others.
> Anyone interested in working on this issue?
