Hi, will try to elaborate and complement over I wrote yesterday:
The plan is to have a 4th repo, and there have 3 Sub Modules, each one as we have now (compiler, typedefs and framework). Ant will be work as always (calling "ant all" from framework will build as usual, and other targets should work as usual). Each Maven sub module will work as always too separately if we want, since some people want to use just compiler (Kenny?, Josh?, others we even don't know?,...), so although we get a single monolithic repo, we still have the granularity to choose what parts we want to release when we want to start doing so. In other words, Maven will be prepared to do so, but, maybe ANT will need work if even now it does not consider that, but that is something independent of doing the proposed change. What Chris is refactoring is the maven plugin to avoid dependencies, that is what Alex state that will be afraid to have more. This is just the opposite. We have now dependencies that want to remove (the compiler dependency. will be removed to make them more decoupled). So I think that goes in the right direction that Alex was worried about. Another point is to be able to release each Sub Module on its own, and that would be as well possible. The Good point is that after this change we will be able to build all with maven with just a single command instead of do the same command in three different repos. For releases still all have to be released manually separately, hovever another good catch is that Chris is defaulting the properties that define the compiler version an typedef version to project version. And that can be overridden too. But that will be chained making it more easy since we're using the submodules and maven as intended by those tools. Another collateral point is that Chris is greatly cleaning up the compiler plugin configuration, that will streamline all the process involved. Let me know if this clarifies the proposal and the enhancement we want to do, and if is ok for you all. Thanks!
