Hello We can put following script (in attachment) to simplify setup of missing maven dependencies that are fetched using 'ant download-dependencies' command. After using this script I was able to build everything using maven.
One more comment is on tests - maybe it's better to put long-running tests, like filesystem tests, etc. into integration-test build stage (https://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-the-lifecycle.html)? Maven Failsafe plugin (https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-failsafe-plugin/usage.html) provides useful functionality to implement this. I think, that this could make developer's life easier On Wed, Sep 21, 2011 at 9:52 AM, Alex Ott <alex...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello > > On Wed, Sep 21, 2011 at 9:43 AM, Tommaso Teofili > <tommaso.teof...@gmail.com> wrote: >>> (2) I'm not sure it is reasonable to go with one build system over >>> another.
