Cocoon is trying out Maven2
We just decided to switch to the new Maven2 (currently alpha 3) for the Apache Cocoon build system. The first step was easy: creating the POM, adding all dependencies and invoke m2. Now, as Cocoon is using some snapshots from various projects that where not available in the usual repositories, I had to upload them first which took a little bit of the time. But now, you can build a jar file of the Cocoon core with Maven (ok, nothing fancy, but it's the first step). And this is how it looks:
[INFO] [jar:jar]
[INFO] Building jar: D:\dev\workspace\cocoon-2.2\core\target\cocoon-core-2.2-SNA
PSHOT.jar
[INFO] [source:jar]
[INFO] Not producing source bundle for a SNAPSHOT build
[INFO] -------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] BUILD SUCCESSFUL
[INFO] -------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] Total time: 20 seconds
[INFO] Finished at: Thu Aug 18 19:42:03 CEST 2005
[INFO] Final Memory: 2M/6M
[INFO] -------------------------------------------------------------
Next step will be adding the junit tests and then the webapp as a separate project.
Once we're able to build the core, we will switch all blocks to Maven and perhaps modularize the core into several smaller projects. So stay tuned :)
Ah, btw, during the migration we try to keep the old build system working.
