Karl Wright commented on CONNECTORS-92: --------------------------------------- It further occurs to me that the only *jars* you will ever need to depend on in ACF are the ones that you'd build connectors against. So, now I'm getting glimmers of a possible combined maven/ivy build where we have only one maven target, which is basically the jars acf-core, acf-core-ui, acf-agents, and acf-pull-agent, and where every other module in ACF is built using ivy to pull down dependencies that are needed. Of course, this would presume you wanted to build connectors independently of building ACF itself, which I could go either way on at the moment... > Move from ant to maven or other build system with decent library management > --------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CONNECTORS-92 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONNECTORS-92 > Project: Apache Connectors Framework > Issue Type: Wish > Components: Build > Reporter: Jettro Coenradie > Attachments: Screen shot 2010-08-23 at 16.31.07.png > > > I am looking at the current project structure.
