I don't know about everybody else, but I'm really sorry I voted for the adoption of Maven when we moved to Apache. It seemed like the thing to do at the time, but I have come to regret it. I have no good understanding of how our build works, and the Maven documentation is terrible. If I had some spare time on my hands, I would consider creating an Ant build (that everybody can understand).

I too find the Maven docs not good, and there seems to be no way to nicely keep "drilling down" into the "source code" to get answers.

Leo Simons has a cute post about Maven and some alternatives on his blog:
http://www.leosimons.com/blog/ (look for "Replace maven with a shell script"). He seems to like ant 1.7 plus Ivy (a new Apache incubator project).

Adam Lally updated UIMA-392:
----------------------------

    Environment: Maven 2.0.6

The build works in Maven v2.0.4, but fails in Maven v2.0.6. It looks like the problem is in the Maven Assembly Plugin. A workaround might be to change our root POM file to specify an older version of that plugin. In the mean time, don't use Maven 2.0.6 to build UIMA.

Eclipse Plugin packaging not working correctly
----------------------------------------------

                Key: UIMA-392
                URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-392
            Project: UIMA
         Issue Type: Bug
         Components: Build, Packaging and Test
   Affects Versions: 2.2
        Environment: Maven 2.0.6
           Reporter: Adam Lally
            Fix For: 2.2


For some reason our build is now producing an extra level of directories for the Eclipse plugins. For example the CDE plugin now has a top-level directory named "uimaj-ep-configurator-2.2-incubating-SNAPSHOT.zip" in the final build, which should not be there. I don't know what caused this. It was working fine for the 2.1.0 build.
