stack commented on HBASE-2099: ------------------------------ Here's a few comments Paul (Thanks for taking this on). That the generated jar, hbase-0.21.0-dev.jar, has a hbase-default.xml in top-level and in a conf subdir looks wrong. I think the top-level one is the one we want. Whatever, its not your prob. Just make an issue on it and one of us will figure it. .bq Maven appears to locate some .java files from within the zookeeper dependency... Its finding java files in the zk jar and compiling them? .bq The ivy-generated jar contains pre-compiled JSP file... Yeah. HBase and Hadoop do this. I think its so hadoop/hbase can run on a jre, that they don't require a jdk. .bq cidentally the saveVersion.sh could probably be replaced with a text replace during a Maven build cycle... Sure. On moving dirs, thats no problem (Can't make an omelette...) > Move build to Maven > ------------------- > > Key: HBASE-2099 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-2099 > Project: Hadoop HBase > Issue Type: Task > Reporter: stack > Attachments: HBASE-2099.patch > > > 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.
