[jira] Commented: (CONNECTORS-92) Move from ant to maven or other build system with decent library management

["Karl Wright (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONNECTORS-92?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12901432#action_12901432 ] 

Karl Wright commented on CONNECTORS-92:
---------------------------------------

This proposed change has a number of features I don't  understand the reasons for:

(1) Breaking up modules and putting pieces of that all over the place
(2) Taking jetty-runner out of framework
(3) Introducing a "src" directory under each of the framework components
(4) Moving the tests so far away from the code they are related to

Can you describe your logic for this reorganization?

> I am looking at the current project structure. If we want to make another build tool available I think we need to change the directory structure. I tried to place a suggestion in an image. Can you please have a look at it. If we agree that this is a good way to go, than I will continue to work on a patch. Which might be a bit hard with all these changing directories, but I'll do my best to at least get an idea whether it would be working.
> So I have three questions:
> - Do you want to move to maven or put maven next to ant?
> - Do you prefer another build mechanism [ant with ivy, gradle, maven3]
> - Do you have an idea about the amount of scripts that need to be changed if we change the project structure
> The image of a possible project layout (that is based on the maven standards) is attached to the issue
