[Cosmo-dev] Call for vote: switch to Maven 2 officially

[Mike Taylor]

Now that the changes I've made to support Maven 2 have been tested  
and gone over by bcm and randy, I would like to make the switch on  
Tuesday of next week.

Switching to Maven 2 will involve one change that will make it  
impossible to use Maven 1 to build - the src/webapps/ directory needs  
to move to src/main/webapps/

The way devs do the various steps are also different and the one  
change that Maven 2 causes will cause minor grief until everyone gets  
used to it:  Maven 2 does not allow for task goals to depend on other  
task goals.  In the Maven 2 world only lifecycle goals can do that.   
What this means for the developer is that if you run "mvn  
war:inplace" Maven 2 will *not* compile your source if something has  
changed.

Here is the common set of commands I think will be used:

	mvn compile
	mvn compile test
	mvn package war:inplace

Optionally you can use the clean target to remove intermediate files.

Let me know if anyone has any objections to this.

thanks,
