Robert Muir commented on SOLR-2002:
-----------------------------------

Hi Chris, so mainly i want to start with the patch where Solr's build system 
extends Lucene's.

This gives us a 'single' build system (as the modules and lucene contrib 
already extend lucene's) rather than the 4 or 5 we have now: as solr contribs 
actually basically have their own standalone build.

So in lucene's common-build, we can easily add new targets/checks/functionality 
(e.g. findbugs/failing on javadocs/etc) and it applies to everything.

Also in my tests this was a huge speedup to the solr build, especially things 
like ant test -Dtestcase

But, there is a lot to do: in my patch i only did the basics (compile/test/etc).
* we need to implement things like solr 'example' tasks.
* we need to look at lucene and solr's build.xml and see what things are 
duplicates, such as packaging tasks, that can be added to common-build.xml: an 
example is artifact signing and hashing.
* i think it might be worth our time to look at antunit or something of that 
nature to implement 'tests' for the build system. By this i don't really mean 
tests that ensure our ant logic is correct: I mean automated tests that look at 
whether things like packaging are correct. But i havent looked at antunit yet, 
so I admittedly don't know what I am talking about.
* once everything is using a single common-build recursively, we should 
consider additional features (pmd, findbugs, ...) that we would want to 
implement to perform even more checks: this can really be separate issues but 
its good to think right now about how we can make our build system as picky as 
possible to try to keep the codebase in good shape.
