I fully understand, that is why I was trying to get consensus. The issue
is that when M1 punch list was build maven
was not included. This might have been because Steve was on the road --
the fact is that no one else added it for M1
Anyway we have a situation where we completed all the JIRAs for M1 and
as committers where trying to close down for RC
when the maven for M1 discussion started. unfortunate...
I understand the desire to get maven in, in M1. I also understand the
desire to branch the mainline and move on. Somewhere
someone has to give some goodwill --- worst case is that those that want
maven in force a 3 day window for vote, --- then as those
that want to keep moving still might not vote maven in for M1.
Let's not use up all the good will and be pragmatic..
To this end my a propose a third option:
- branch to release what we have now (This is a good so that we can
work through all the apache release procedures)
- when we release C++ and other components in a few weeks time (maybe
push back to Dec) we call it M2 and re-cut an update of Java
- with maven + new code generators, persistence etc....
Does this fly ?? if not suggest a variation.

Carl,
I see we have two options:
1.) extend the time line
2.) Cut the release as using ant as in the vote thread (the key was to
let Steve get the test refactor to main-line)
....
I would like to get a show of hands on this point, and if I am correct
in my assessment we should create the M1 branch with ant create the RC
and give the team time to get up to speed with maven on mainline for M2
and continue M2 development. Rajith can then create the branch and a
signed RC later today that we can all test.
I just want to point out that if a concensus isn't reached and a vote
needs to be called, that will delay M1 for at least another 3 days as the
vote MUST be run for 72 hours. In those 3 days, most of the maven
issues could be fixed.
Please can you show your level of comfort including maven (release
maven branch) or ant build for M1 (1 line answers so that we can
easily see where the committers are at)
I'm -1 (non-binding) to releasing with Ant as that would mean other
projects would not be able to take dependencies on it. (unless someone
spends some time getting the ant build to generate maven artifacts, which
would be a stupid waste of time) Since I'm a commiter on at least two
such projects, I say spend the time getting maven working.
