Patrick Wendell created SPARK-4501:
--------------------------------------
Summary: Create build/mvn to automatically download
maven/zinc/scalac
Key: SPARK-4501
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-4501
Project: Spark
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Build
Reporter: Patrick Wendell
For a long time we've had the sbt/sbt and this works well for users who want to
build Spark with minimal dependencies (only Java). It would be nice to
generalize this to maven as well and have build/sbt and build/mvn, where
build/mvn was a script that downloaded Maven, Zinc, and Scala locally and set
them up correctly. This would be totally "opt in" and people using system maven
would be able to continue doing so.
My sense is that very few maven users are currently using Zinc even though from
some basic tests I saw a huge improvement from using this. Also, having a
simple way to use Zinc would make it easier to use Maven on our jenkins test
machines.
