Redesigning for more standards including Maven

NOTE: This is a work-in progress as of 1/28/2010

This is a proposed redesign of the layout in SVN and the way we use Maven, to enable broader use of standard tooling and approaches for development and release.

This redesign could be part of our move to a TLP (top level project), assuming we graduate (smile).

Goals

Fix things that work poorly now.

  • RAT reports - currently run on entire assembly, which means we have to unzip it, and run on that.
    • should run on pre-zipped things
  • Non Hierarchical POM layout (flat layout) causing problems
    • Release plugin doesn't work
    • Assembly plugin "modules" doesn't work
    • m2eclipse works nicely with hierarchical layout
      • prototyped this already, and can make things work with hierarchical directory layout
    • Simple things like checking out all of uima - uimaj, uima-as, sandbox, (uimacpp - work on this later) from SVN with one export, and then being able to build, doesn't work
      • Current extract & build requires copying over / merging separate SVN checkouts
  • Source release doesn't match SVN
    • should be just a zipped up version of the svn, or generated using the source mvn plugin.
    • source assembly should be (if possible) just the sources zipped up
      • may need to have a SVN structure that separates things not in releases (e.g. uimaj-internal-tools)

Design

TBD after more "goals" / needs are identified

  • No labels
