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

I think this is where Maven starts to pay off, just by adding this snippet in 
the top-level pom:

{noformat}
  <distributionManagement>
    <repository>
      <id>Apache Public Releases</id>
      <url>scp://people.apache.org/home/psmith/public_html/hbase/repo/</url>
    </repository>
    <snapshotRepository>
      <id>Apache Public Snapshots</id>
      <name>Aconex Snapshots</name>
      
<url>scp://people.apache.org/home/psmith/public_html/hbase/repo-snapshots/</url>
    </snapshotRepository>
    <site>
      <id>HBase Site</id>
      
<url>scp://people.apache.org/home/psmith/public_html/hbase/sandbox/hbase/</url>
    </site>
  </distributionManagement>
{noformat}

and having a corresponding username/password entries in my ~/.m2/settings.xml 
for each id, I can do this:

{noformat}
# skip tests because they're currently failing in this interim

mvn -Dmaven.test.skip.exec=true deploy site:deploy
{noformat}

Imagine that the Snapshots url is the real Apache Snapshots location, this is a 
fast way of providing working snapshot builds for upstream people to use 
without a full release:

http://people.apache.org/~psmith/hbase/repo-snapshots/org/apache/hadoop/hbase/hbase-core/0.20.2-SNAPSHOT/

Also the site generation (putting aside it's ugliness) does produce useful info:

http://people.apache.org/~psmith/hbase/sandbox/hbase/hbase-core/jdepend-report.html

A full release can then use the maven-release-plugin, which will manage the SCM 
tagging, and pushing the final release candidates direct to their proper 
location on the Apache central release repo.

> 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?
