[jboss-dev] Changes to JBoss AS Build

Hi Everyone, As a step in the ongoing effort to mavenize the app server, I am replacing the build-thirdparty.xml with a maven build. There is a new pom.xml in the thirdparty directory that will now manage the app server dependencies. So starting tomorrow, you will need to update the pom in the root directory of the app server and the pom in the thirdparty directory. All new dependencies will have to be added to the maven section of our repository (http://repository.jboss.org/maven2) because this is where the new thirdparty stuff will be downloaded from. The pom in the thirdparty directory will be called automatically by the main build script build/build.xml and you can also call it directly using "mvn package". The thirdparty maven build then uses a plugin that reads the dependencies from the pom, and then generates a thirdparty dependencies directory that matches what was generated by the build-thirdparty.xml. I'm also working on some documentation for the plugin, and I will post it as soon as it is somewhat complete. Please let me know if there are any questions/concerns. Thanks!
