Hi Carl, I'm happy to do it whenever the group feels it would be
best, but I'd rather not wait too long after it hits the incubator,
because the longer we wait, the more difficult it gets.
So far I haven't found anything too difficult. As Alan said, the
existing directory structure isn't too far off what maven prefers,
and thus so far it seems to be a matter of properly identifying
dependencies and using a maven plugin for the XSLT code generation
steps.

Steve,
if we decide to add, go to.. maven builds do you mind if we do that
post the code move to
Apache. We still have some work to do to get the code into it's new
home and I am scared that
this might complicate this process. It might not, but I would
prefer to get the code move
behind us before introducing this.

I haven't used maven a lot but from the little I've used it it
seems to
eliminate a lot of the repetative junk that gets re-hashed on every
project.
The existing directory structure is very close to the maven
standard so
I don't see any big problems in the reorg.

I'd like to "mavenize" the Qpid build (specifically with Maven 2,
of course). We have more than a few dependencies, such as log4j,
a bunch of jakarta commons stuff, some mina stuff, saxon, and
xmlbeans, and maven could help manage all that and any future
dependencies we create, such as for persistence. But maven
brings other major benefits too, such as single commands to set
up Eclipse or IntelliJ workspaces, commands to measure code
coverage, commands to run code style checkers, etc. I also think
the standard maven directory structure helps enforce subproject
unit testing, as the tests and the sources sit in peer
directories under each subproject.
Now would be a good time to do this, obviously, given the code
moving into the incubator. Unless everyone hates the idea, I'll
keep working on it in my private workspace and try to have it
ready by the end of the week. Obviously, if anyone has any major
concerns, please voice them here.
thanks,
