Karl Wright commented on CONNECTORS-92:
---------------------------------------
bq. Web projects are no problem at all. You can even have dependencies between
webproject. Althought I would try to make dependencies on jars only.
The question is, who would *want* to depend on any individual ACF war files?
If there's a need, then fine, but I don't see one here. The only use case I
can come up with for anybody depending on ACF is on the main framework jars,
which could be consolidated into one jar quite readily. I would therefore
propose breaking up modules/framework into two pieces:
"modules/framework-core", and "modules/framework", or some such.
"framework-core" would contain what's currently in framework/core,
framework/ui-core, framework/agents, and framework/pull-agent, and would have
both an ant build and a maven build that wraps it. "framework" would contain
"crawler-ui", "api', "authorityservice", and the jetty stuff, and would have a
straight ant build and an ant-with-ivy build wrapping that. Each connector
would have an ant build and a wrapping ant-ivy build also.
Thoughts?

> 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
