Benjamin Reed commented on ZOOKEEPER-83: ---------------------------------------- I think it might be good to separate out the issues here. Two of them I see are: 1) Use Maven instead of ANT to build because Maven is so much better. 2) Make it so that ZooKeeper can be added to a Maven repository. I'm not really convinced about 1), but 2) seems like a cool thing. I believe there is a way to use ANT to create Maven modules for the repository right? > 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 > Attachments: zookeeper-mavened.tgz > > > Maven is a great too for building java projects at the ASF.
