[jira] [Comment Edited] (DERBY-6645) Switch to Maven for building Apache Derby

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-6645?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16724189#comment-16724189 ]

To answer your question about policy files:

* Template policy files are all generated into the generated source tree for the engine module (specifically into trunk/generated/java/org.apache.derby.engine/org/apache/derby/security) alongside corresponding webpages for the Derby Security Guide. 
* One production policy file is generated into the classes directory tree for the server module.
* Test policy files are generated into the classes directory tree for the testing module.

> For a new user building Derby is very hard. It does not follow established Java project structures and requires a lot of prior knowledge. Also the documentation is rather short. Especially running the tests is non-intuitive at the beginning. Thus, I propose that Derby switches to building using Maven and restructures its components in a cleaner way. Testing should be revised to produce reproducible results. This would make development and testing much easier and more user-friendly.
