Lars Francke commented on HBASE-2394:
-------------------------------------
I won't yet assign this to me as I'm not done and I don't know if I'll have the
time to finish it.
But I've looked into it and it seems to allow us to slim down our pom
considerably. There are a few more things that need to be done on the pom but
that can be done in another issue.
The Apache POM automatically pulls in a NOTICE, LICENSE and DEPENDENCIES file
with the help of the
[maven-remote-resources-plugin|http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-remote-resources-plugin/]
and the
[apache-jar-resource-bundle|http://github.com/apache/maven-resources/tree/trunk/apache-jar-resource-bundle/]
so those files can probably be removed to avoid duplication.
It also provides an [assembly
descriptor|http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/maven/resources/tags/apache-source-release-assembly-descriptor-1.0.2/]
but I believe that only builds a source assembly and not a "final tarball" as
we currently need it.
That can be tested by running: {{mvn -Papache-release package}}. There are som
[instructions|http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg00287.html]
on how to use the assembly plugin with the parent pom.
The pom also provides the option to sign the jars which we somehow forgot so
far :)
As far as I can tell my modified pom builds a working final tarball so it
shouldn't be that much work to finish it.

> Key: HBASE-2394
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-2394
> Project: Hadoop HBase
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: build
> Affects Versions: 0.21.0
> Reporter: Paul Smith
> Priority: Minor
>
> Lars Francke suggested this one to me offline and I think it's an excellent
> idea, so just raising it here for posterity.
> see
> https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/releases/org/apache/apache/7/apache-7.pom
> If we changed the HBase top-level pom to have a parent of the ASF one we can
> share some configuration love here, take advantage of 'known good' plugins,
> slim down the HBase pom definition even more (I love removing code, it's my
> favourite task) and abide by standard Apache release artifact signing and
> packaging processes.
> this _should_ be simple. Lars or I will work up a patch when one of us has
> some time.
> (nice thinking Lars!)
