Paul Smith commented on HBASE-2099:
-----------------------------------

bq. This sounds like a good idea. Working in a branch. github is good for this 
(Its hard giving a non-committer access to apache svn repo).

although this will account for squat I'm sure, but I am an Apache committer 
(psm...@apache.org, on the Logging Services projects). That makes it less 
administratively burdensome, but I can appreciate a project team doesn't hand 
out privileges in the Corn Flakes packets, so I'm perfectly happy to provide 
patches/instructions and help for now.

I could probably get myself git-enabled (yet-another-excuse to do that, I 
really must) but it may just slow me down in the short term.  I'll create a 
poor-mans-branch, and just checkout a fresh copy of trunk now and then and 
reapply the changes for testing.  Once I'm confident it's solid, I'll just post 
the instructions here for someone with privs to try out and they can commit for 
review by other hbase-devs

> 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?
