Hoss Man commented on LUCENE-622:
---------------------------------
I didn't review Karl's attachemnt (the nice thing about patch's is
that you can read them easily in a web browser, tgz files need to
be downloaded and uncompressed)
"This whole bolting on of Maven to ANT just seems a little weird to
me" ... that's kind of funny Grant, it was your suggestion that
prompted the approach in Sami's patch...

"Couldn't we just add various ANT targets that package the jars per
the Maven way, and even copy them to the appropriate places? I
wonder how hard it would be to have ANT output the POM and
create Maven Jars."
Uh, temporary insanity today, I guess. :-)
It just struck me funny today. I think when I saw that Karl put in a
patch claiming to have most all of it in place, and I figured we
might as well jump in.
Personally I'm much more in favor of baby steps (add an ant task to
prepare the maven artifacts) then completely throwing out the build
system and starting over from scratch with maven. ... if we have
maven artifacts and people really start using them, then it might
make sense to revist the "migrate to maven" issue ... for now
though it seems like everyone is comfortable with ant, and not
every one knows/understands maven.
Right. I guess I was suggesting parallel support for a little while,
but there really would never be any incentive to force the issue. My
Maven 2 experience has been ambiguous to date. We are in the process
of upgrading from M1. In a lot of ways, things are much better than
both ANT and M1, but in a lot of ways, it just isn't there yet and it
has been frustrating getting help and finding documentation. For the
"usual" cases, I think M2 works great, but in less common cases, it
isn't so great. Lucene probably fits into the usual cases, so we
would probably be fine.
At any rate, sorry for the confusion. I am fine w/ whichever way
works out.
