             Summary: (2.2,3.0,3.11) Migrate dependency handling from maven-ant-tasks to resolver-ant-tasks
                 Key: CASSANDRA-16557
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-16557
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: Build, Dependencies
            Reporter: Michael Semb Wever
             Fix For: 0.3


Cassandra resolves dependencies and generates maven pom files through the use of [maven-ant-tasks|http://maven.apache.org/ant-tasks/]. This is no longer a supported project.

The recommended upgrade is to [resolver-ant-tasks|http://maven.apache.org/resolver-ant-tasks/]. It follows similar APIs so shouldn't be too impactful a change.

The existing maven-ant-tasks has caused [some headaches already|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-16359] with internal super poms referencing insecure http:// central maven repository URLs that are no longer supported.

We should also take the opportunity to 
 - define the "test" scope (classpath) for those dependencies only used for tests (currently we are packaging test dependencies into the release binary artefact),
 - remove the jar files stored in the git repo under the "lib/" folder.

These two above points have to happen in tandem, as the jar files under {{lib/}} are those that get bundled into the {{build/dist/lib/}} and hence the binary artefact. That is, all jar files under {{lib/}} are the project's "compile" scope, and all other dependencies defined in build.xml are either "provided" or "test" scope. These different scopes for dependencies are currently configured in different maven-ant-tasks poms.
