>From mailing list:

I 'd like to refactor the maven build to use exactly 3 profiles and remove all other profiles:

    * default
          o Fast, for during development
    * full
          o Slow, but builds everything. Used by hudson, releases and before you go to sleep
    * soa
          o Prunes the non-soa stuff away

What do you think?


Long explanation:

    * The maven build is too slow atm:
          o GWT compilation of all permutations (during development 1 permutation is enough)
    * yet some parts of the code don't build with maven
          o such as
                + in the past GWT compilation
                + antlr generation
                + eclipse plugin
                + examples
          o problems with this approach
                + they use unmanaged dependency versions (antlr generation might use a different version than antlr dependency in pom)
                + require tool installations (gwt dev kit under /home/Rikkola/gwt :)
                + commit generated files to svn
          o adding them to maven will make the maven build even slower... unless...

The profiles are too complicated, currently we have these profiles:

    * default (the one you run with "mvn clean install")
          o Build these too
                + drools-clips
                + drools-planner
                + drools-pipeline
                + drools-simulator
                + osgi-bundles
          o Proposition: don't build those in soa
    * documentation
          o Build drools-docs too
          o Proposition: merge into profile full
    * build-eclipse
          o Build drools-eclipse too
          o Proposition: merge into profile full
    * cibuild (hudson)
          o Build these too:
                + drools-docs
                + drools-eclipse
                + drools-examples too
          o In drools-process, build these too:
                + drools-bpel
                + drools-jpdl
          o Proposition: merge into profile full
    * soa
          o in drools (parent)
                + assembly: use soa assembly description alternatives
          o in drools-guvnor
                + change some tokens in some files (ant based, not maven filtering yet)
                + run pre-integration-test
          o in drools-eclipse
                + Don't build org.drools.eclipse.task
          o in drools-docs
                + Don't build drools-docs-planner and drools-docs-integration
    * grammars
          o in drools-core and drools-compiler
                + runs the antlr file generation
          o Proposition: replace with maven antlr plugin
                + if fast, do part of the default profile and output to target dir
                + if slow, do part of the full profile and output to src dir (just as it is now)
    * gen-brms-import (not part of any top-level build)
          o Proposition: Leave it alone until we deal with that commented out module bulk-importer-util
    * ydoc-doclet (commented out on drools parent pom)
          o Proposition: remove it
