Kay Kay commented on HBASE-2099: -------------------------------- {quote} | .bq ..s someone ok to handle any ivy changes as we make progress? You think we should have ivy and maven at same time? Once maven is working, we'd ditch ivy? {quote} May be the first cut of changes can be the directory restructure of the existing files , as fitting maven. Change Ivy / build.xml to make sure the src tree changes go with them to continue to be useful for existing process. Maintain pom.xml(s) as another patch here until it works completely, and commit it when working. Get away from Ivy then. > 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-2099.2.full.patch, HBASE-2099.2.patch, > 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.

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? -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
