Glen Mazza commented on JSPWIKI-651:
------------------------------------
Yes, for code modularization, an excellent first step is to forget about Maven
but still use the Maven standard directory format
(http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-the-standard-directory-layout.html)
and then update the Ant build.xml to work with that new structure. At least
with src/main/java, test/man/java, src/main/resources, test/main/resources (and
for anything under the WEB-INF folder, src/main/webapp). This will make
JSPWiki look like just about every other Mavenized project, making it easier
for new people to jump in, knowing where everything is and realizing they can
use the same Maven commands they use on other projects without needing to study
a big build.xml file anymore.
As for all those submodules, sure, sounds good! But you might wish to keep it
simple right now with one pom.xml until we're off Ant (because others have to
be brought up to speed with Maven), then put in submodules after that. Or do a
hybrid... You understand the JWPWiki code a lot more than I do so you might be
more comfortable jumping to submodules more quickly than I. The Apache CXF
pom.xml has about as many bells and whistles as you can find, but you might
want to take a look at the Apache Roller pom.xml & folder structure
(http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/roller/trunk/), as it is also a Java web app like
JSPWiki and was created by several skilled developers.

> Hello there, I was hoping to maybe one day contribute to the JSPWiki project
> and after having checked out the trunk code and played around somewhat I was
> thinking it would be very nice if this project used Maven.
> I'm sure most of you are familiar with Maven in one way or another, you might
> even have a really good reason for not doing this to JSPWiki.
