[jboss-dev-forums] [Design of JBoss Build System] - Re: Moving jbossas to a maven repo for thirdparty

[pgier]

Just wanted to give an update on the progress of this.  I have most of the thirdparty repo generated, now I'm trying to build against the maven generated thirdparty directory.  And I'm still finding some things that don't match.

I think that by mid next week, I should have it all working.  My plan is to change the main build script to call my maven thirdparty build instead of the current build-thirdparty.xml.  Then the ant script won't be needed any more.  At this point build-thirdparty.xml should no longer be maintained, and in order to update dependency versions everyone will have to update the parent pom and/or the thirdparty/pom.xml.

Instead of modifying the build scripts to point to "target", I discussed with Rajesh and it seems like it will be better just to generate the thirdparty output directly to the thirdparty directory and overwrite what is there now.  This way the only modification needed to the build.xml files is to turn on "inhibit.downloads".  And then make the call to thirdparty "mvn package" automatic just for convenience.

Does this sound reasonable?
