Kay Kay commented on HBASE-2099: -------------------------------- {quote} . I've relocated the SCM definition I had in hbase-core {quote} Great. I believe the important distinction is to have connection and developerConnection nodes available under scm , since that would be used by the maven-release plugin. {quote} unless Zookeeper and Thrift are put somewhere standard soon, you won't pass this one. {quote} Yes. As far as zookeeper is concerned - it will be available soon in a maven snapshot repository with the next release. As far as thrift is concerned - we can publish ourselves once a groupId is identified for hbase. {quote} it's unclear what the use of googlecode, java.net and codehaus repositories means for this as well. Seems odd to eliminate us based on that.. ? Could someone in a more sensible timezone chat with some of the sonatype guys or their IRC channel about this? there must be a bucket load of Apache projects that wouldn't qualify there. {quote} I do not think this is a major showstopper because those original instructions that I had pasted are for artifacts to be uploaded to central maven repository , but when it comes to apache snapshot maven repository ( as it applies for hbase), the criteria are more relaxed. So - that should not be a showstopper I guess. I will confirm this with the sonatype people on this as well. > 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: findbugs.html, findbugs.html, HBase Move Script.txt, > HBASE-2099.9.patch, test-reports.zip > > > 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? -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
