Hoss Man commented on LUCENE-622:
---------------------------------

Seeing Michael's update to this issue reminded me that a few days ago when 
looking in the archives to see some of the discussion that happened during the 
2.1 release I was realized that was when the last really big discussion about 
using maven came up, and one of the ideas put forth was to use the "maven 
antlib" (some custom ant tasks provided by the maven project) to deal with 
fetching remote dependencies for contribs (that have them) and publishing our 
jars (and their pom files) to the main maven repository.  thinking about it 
more now, this also solves our "how do we communicate contrib dependencies to 
people who download binary distributions?" problem -- we can inlcude the 
pom.xml files in the release, and people can easily read them even if they 
don't use maven.

between Sami's patch and Karl's tarball it seems like we already have some good 
pom files for all of the projects, the hard parts are making sure they stay up 
to date with reality as contribs evolve, and publishing them to the maven 
repository correctly.  it seems maven't ant tasks can trivially solve the 
second problem, and easily solve the first if we make some changes to use it 
for fetching dependencies....
