Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-2657:
-------------------------------------

bq. I stand corrected. Build simplification is certainly a goal I support; 
without the flexibility afforded by a coherent build system, issues like this 
one would definitely be more difficult to implement.

Exactly, because if you were to write a patch for this issue today, you have to 
implement it in 4 or 5 different places at the moment (or at least employ dirty 
ant hacks)

The same problem prevents us from really improving our build in other ways: for 
example we should probably support findbugs/pmd integration and things like 
that, and it should be simple.

> Lucene and Solr modules' POM templates are manually maintained, and so are 
> not always in sync with the dependencies used by the Ant build. 
> It should be possible to auto-generate POM templates using build tools 
> extending Ant's 
> [BuildListener|http://api.dpml.net/ant/1.6.5/org/apache/tools/ant/BuildListener.html]
>  interface, similarly to how the 
> [ant2ide|http://gleamynode.net/articles/2234/] project generates eclipse 
> project files.
