Hi, you can find here (1) the current ANT-based precommit script that runs againsts every Github Pull Request .
These are the steps of the script and how we are doing the same in Maven: 1) check for @author tags -> handled with maven-checkstyle-plugin 2) Check for new tests in the patch -> not handled with maven 3) check javadoc warnings -> not handled with maven (we should add -Xdoclint in Maven) 4) check java compilation for warnings -> handled with -Werror -Xlint:deprecation -Xlint:unchecked (this is slightly different, in ANT we have a generic -Xlint and we were counting for the number of warnings) 5) check for "releaseaudit" -> handled with "Apache Rat Plugin" in maven 6) check "findbugs" -> handled with "spotbugs" with maven 7) run "tests" -> handle with maven default build "verify" 8) run "contrib tests" -> not handled with maven 9) add JIRA comment -> not handled with maven (not needed IMHO, we have github PR status lines) My questions to the community: - I would like to drop 2), "check for new tests": I think it gives no so much value, and it is tricky to reimplement, but I can do - I would like to drop 8) "run contrib tests": there is an open discussion about dropping "contrib" at all - I would like to drop 9) -> add jira comment: We already have a better workflow with github, no need to spam JIRA. I can see a little value in having some track in JIRA that "the patch was good", but I don't think it is worth to continue to put JIRA credentials on jenkins (from a security perspective) Please take a look and give your opinion, if no one objects and some committer supports my changes we will be able to drop ANT precommit soon Regards Enrico [1] https://github.com/apache/zookeeper/blob/master/zookeeper-server/src/test/resources/test-github-pr.sh
