On today's call we still have confusion about what will be done for the CR1 build of jbossas, including exporting of artifacts to maven repos for use by other projects. The main point of confusion is related to how ejb3 is going to be built. It needs jbossas artifacts in maven repo, jbossas needs the ejb3 artifacts for the assembly. The issues to resolve are: 1. What are the jbossas artifacts and how are they being uploaded to a maven repo as part of the build. One simple issue I already see is that the names of the artifacts are changed in the existing pom.xml files. For example in the system project, while the current build produces jboss-system-client.jar and jboss-system.jar artifacts, the system/pom.xml defines jboss-as-system.jar. We need to get to consistent artifact names in both builds as it affects classpaths and configuration files, docs. 2. Getting the jbossas build to use maven artifacts. Nothing currently validates the jbossas maven artifacts. The first step in doing this is to replace the legacy jbossbuild repo with the maven repo as the source for the thirdparty contents. How we do this using ivy, maven ant tasks, etc. needs to be defined and documented, and the existing build-thirdparty target replaced. The next step would be to replace the existing project dependencies (classpaths defined in tools/etc/buildmagic/modules.ent) with the same type of maven repo references as was done for thirdparty. At that point the build and testsuite would be based on the exportable artifacts. 3. How is ejb3/jbossas going to be built with ejb3 as a separate project, that depends on jbossas artifacts. Logically jbossas/ejb3 are a collection of dependent projects. How this translates into a build procedure from tagged codebases is what needs to be defined for CR1. We won't have jbossas completely mavenized by that point, so how a reproducible build results is the question. 4. Related to 3, do we need to restructure the jbossas project, including breaking it up into separate svn projects to support the creation of jbossas artifacts and the jbossas release assembly.
