I saw the following discussion in Monday's IRC chat log. (I couldn't attend the chat because I was on a plane.)
[12:37] <ant_> oh, so with the samples again, I guess we need Ant build scripts [12:37] <ant_> lresende, it does right now and i think thats good to do [12:38] <jsdelfino> yes, +1 for the sample bins [12:38] <lresende> yes, i like that, but haven't looked into your distro strawman yet [12:38] <slaws> ant_ - a non maven build solution for samples would be useful [12:38] <ant_> do we want mvn as well or just Ant? [12:39] <jsdelfino> what's the work required to have a mvn build for the samples? don't we already have bit? [12:39] <jsdelfino> I think we could keep the mvn build, but document the ant one [12:40] <slaws> if we have two we need to decide whether we maintain two or just fix up ant for releases [12:40] <ant_> ok. i guess we just need to make sure the sample mvn's work in the build distro with an empty local repo [12:41] <ant_> would anyone like to volunteer to create an Ant script for one of the samples? [12:42] <jsdelfino> anyone? it shouldn't be too hard, we even had this in M1... [12:42] <slaws> didn't someone already create some for a previous release that we can lift [12:42] <halehM> Maybe someone on the mailing list who is not on the IRC? [12:42] <halehM> post on mailing list? [12:43] <ant_> ok, lets skip that one for now then
I did some work on this for M2 but nothing was included in the release because of disagreements about some aspects of my proposal. The two main issues were how webapps get built and how dependencies are resolved. I'll look at this again based on the currently proposed release packaging.
