[jira] Commented: (HADOOP-3302) Support Maven-based builds

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-3302?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12619240#action_12619240 ] 

Hiram Chirino commented on HADOOP-3302:
---------------------------------------

I've just created a new maven plugin that will resolve Steve's #1 and #3 objection.  Source to the new maven plugin can be found here:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/servicemix/maven-plugins/checksum-maven-plugin/trunk

Basically the plugin supports generating a checksum.txt file that is included as part of the project build.  This file holds all the checksums for the dependencies (includes checksums for the metadata too) of the project.

It then validates the checksums of the downloaded dependencies against those stored in the checksum.txt file.

> The reasons I would like to use maven are:
> - the possibility to define artifact templates to define a kind of standard layout/design by artifact
> - it is not necessary for every developer to come up with his own ant build-file and process
> - the possibility to define and resolve dependencies transitively
> But there are also some disadvantages/concerns I identified:
> Maven is downloading a lot of plugins from a central repository that is not under my control
> - What's about the licenses of these plugins? How do I know I am allowed to use them for a commercial product?
> - What's about security? How can I be sure, that the plugins are not manipulated and contain the original (delivered by the JAR provider for e.g. junit-jar) contents. I observed, that some plugins didn't pass the md5 checks but have been installed anyway.
