Hiram Chirino commented on ZOOKEEPER-83: ---------------------------------------- BTW there are lots of CI tools used at the ASF which DO support maven. But hey if you like Hudson that's cool. Can we at least merge the patch in so that the maven directory convention is preserved and then we can delete the maven build files if you like. The ant build can work with that structure just fine. If we do that then I can provide folks who are interested in a maven build the pom files that just overlay onto the project do they can use maven to build it. So we both win. ZooKeeper only has 1 build system ant. Maven users also win cause they can get some optional poms from me to build the project with.
