Rick Hillegas commented on DERBY-6645:
--------------------------------------
That's a great idea, Bryan. I have been compiling a cheatsheet on how to build
and use Derby messages, for my own education. I find that I tend to forget this
stuff quickly. I could work that up into something more formal and post it on
the wiki somewhere. Thanks.
> Switch to Maven for building Apache Derby

> Key: DERBY-6645
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-6645
> Project: Derby
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Build tools
> Affects Versions: 10.10.2.0
> Reporter: Moritz Hoffmann
> Priority: Major
> Attachments: DERBY-6645_v1.patch

> 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.
