Edward Ribeiro commented on ZOOKEEPER-83: ----------------------------------------- IMO, yes. It would be very nice to have Maven as ZooKeeper build tool, in addition (or replacing) Ant. OTOH, from the date of this jira ticket creation, I assume it's not something as easy to do as one would think at first. > Switch to using maven to build ZooKeeper > ---------------------------------------- > > Key: ZOOKEEPER-83 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-83 > Project: ZooKeeper > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: build > Reporter: Hiram Chirino > Assignee: Hiram Chirino > > Maven is a great too for building java projects at the ASF. It helps > standardize the build a bit since it's a convention oriented. > It's dependency auto downloading would remove the need to store the > dependencies in svn, and it will handle many of the suggested ASF policies > like gpg signing of the releases and such. > The ZooKeeper build is almost vanilla except for the jute compiler bits. > Things that would need to change are: > * re-organize the source tree a little so that it uses the maven directory > conventions > * seperate the jute bits out into seperate modules so that a maven plugin > can be with it > -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
