Drew Farris updated MAHOUT-215:
-------------------------------
Attachment: MAHOUT-215.patch
This patch adds build directives that produce a number of artifacts when the
release profile is activated, e.g: with mvn clean install -Prelease
The artifacts generated include:
A binary release named mahout-{version}.{archiveformat} is produced in
mahout/target. This artifact contains:
* the mahout jar files (mahout-math, mahout-core, mahout-utils, mahout-examples)
* the mahout-taste-webapp.war
* job files from core and examples (do we really need both?)
* javadoc for math, core, utils, examples in docs
* all dependencies in lib
* KEYS, LICENSE.txt, NOTICE.txt and README.txt
A source release named mahout-{version}-src.{archiveformat} is produced in
mahout/target. This artifact contains:
* sources for all modules including pom files, and extra files required for the
build. I have tested a full build and test complete successfully (mvn clean
install)
* KEYS, LICENSE.txt, NOTICE.txt and README.txt
Archives are generated in gzip, bzip2 and zip format.
Source and javadoc jars are built for all modules as well. Maven should attach
the assemblies and source, javadoc jars as artifacts and they deployed
alongside the build artifacts, but I have not tested this.
Also did some dependency cleanup for the easymock deps and upped these to 2.5.2
> Provide jars with mahout release.

>
> The 0.2 release of mahout does not include pre-built jars for the various
> mahout modules. An end user must be able to build the jars using maven or
> figure out how to retrieve them from the maven repository, which can be easy
> or difficult depending on the build tool being used. It would be convenient
> to provide binary jars in future mahout releases.
> One approach for doing this is described "Maven: the Definitive Guide",
> available on the web here:
> http://www.sonatype.com/books/maven-book/reference/assemblies-set-dist-assemblies.html
> The problem with the current project structure is described succinctly in the
> second paragraph of this page. The dependencies are structured in such a way
> so that the top-level mahout project is always built before core, utils,
> examples, etc, so that it is not a simple matter of adding or modifying the
> assembly of this project to include the child artifacts.
> Following the approach described in the resource above, a new module would be
> created below the top-level mahout project whose sole purpose is to bundle
> the distributions. This module would depend on all other projects that would
> be included in the distribution and thus be build only after all of the other
> modules are built. This assembly would wrap together both the sources and
> binary artifacts for each of the modules included in the release.
> Additionally, the release profile can be removed from the top level pom and
> the artifacts produced by the project assembly descriptor would no longer be
> needed.
