             Summary: Clean up distribution packaging
                 Key: ISPN-4773
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-4773
             Project: Infinispan
          Issue Type: Enhancement
          Components: Build process
    Affects Versions: 7.0.0.Beta2
            Reporter: Tristan Tarrant
            Assignee: Tristan Tarrant
             Fix For: 7.0.0.CR1


The distribution build process is currently very messy:
- it is based on overly complex assembly files
- the layout of the distribution packages is not ideal
- some of the documentation is not obviously accessible (jmx, xsd)
- since the javadoc plugin is configured to use aggregate builds, it cannot be run without building the entire tree

The solution:
- move the distribution logic to its own module
- use ant instead of assembly descriptors to build the distribution packages
- improve the layout, include the missing docs and remove the aging cruft
