Another current difference between the ant and maven builds is how the
"distribution" archives are created.
Currently, the ant build generates both zip and .tar.gz versions of
xalan-j_version_number-bin.tar and xalan-j_version_number-src.tar.
The Ant source collection puts everything under a top-level
xalan-j_version_number/ directory, and pulls xalan-test in as a subdirectory.
The intent appears to be to facilitate atomic distribution, build, and test
when fetch from git is not practical. Maven instead is currently producing a
.sources.jar for each module, and is not including the tests in any of them
(though it will do so if/when we migrate xalan-test into xalan_java/test). Is
there still a need for a source distribution collection?
The Ant bin collection does *not* include a copy of the tests, but does
bundle xalan and serializer under a xalan-j_version_number/ directory, and
includes documentation and SOURCE of the samples -- in other words, it's
basically the build output minus compilation of the samples. It does *not*
bundle the tests. Maven is not currently producing an equivalent. Is there
still a need for this?
