--- Comment #8 from Pierre Viret <pierre.vi...@gmail.com> --- I have implemented an EXPERIMENTAL set of maven projects for the tomcat components. The main idea is that the sources are simply copied from the central repository to an existing maven projects' tree. Everyone can download the readme, patch the build.xml, unpack the tar with the maven project files and enjoy maven projects. This works well for me and I can work with the projects in NetBeans. This is experimental and has to be verified and tested in depth (f.i. compare the jars created by maven and the jars created by ant). The advantage of this solution is that we can take any revision of the tomcat source tree and (so long the main source packages of the components were not refactored) generate the maven project out of it. My proposal: we can now set up the maven projects so that they really build 100% what we want, without impacting the ant build. When we are ready to switch to maven then the work remaining is to "svn move" the source packages to the corresponding maven modules. This is not a parallel build system but could be very interesting for experimentation and developing the maven build. Please feel free to try it out and give me feedback. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
