Description
Currently we use custom Ant scripts for the LOCI Java Software repository. We also have several other repositories including the ImageJDev work, and miscellaneous LOCI tools. The goal is to unify the build process for all of these tools using Maven.

Relevant Maven articles:
Miscellaneous:
- Establish a LOCI Maven repository
- Move mpicbg/imglib/test code into test subtree
- What does Fiji's bin/maven.sh script do?

I did a lot of work toward this ticket in the last few days, culminating in a Maven branch ( loci-java:r6776), but there is still more to be done. However, much of it is mechanical: relocating directory subtrees and defining pom.xml metadata for the remaining LOCI Java software projects. Then we can move on to the ImageJ repositories.

Several more projects have been migrated to Maven:
- flow-cytometry
- ome-io
- ome-plugins
- slim-plotter
- utils
- visbio
In addition, a new jar2lib Maven project was created.
However, the following projects still need to be migrated:
- autogen
- bf-ice
- checkstyle
- test-suite
- jvmlink (legacy)
- multi-lut (legacy)
- ome-editor (legacy)
- ome-notes (legacy)
- imagej (in git)
- imglib (in git)
Also, the following tasks still remain:
- Get TestNG-based unit tests working
- Create assemblies for loci_tools.jar and ome_tools.jar
- Migrate Bio-Formats command line tools to bio-formats/src/main/scripts
- Resolve filtering issues (e.g., "@year@") with the source code (use resource filtering?)
- Eliminate scan-deps.pl (dependency:analyze target?)
- Find a way to create distribution bundles (e.g., VisBio's "ant dist" target) for binary releases (appassembler plugin?)
- Produce appropriate Eclipse settings (e.g., ignore warnings for forked projects) when using the eclipse plugin
- Research using Maven with native libraries (e.g., to convert decon repository to Maven)
- Write developer documentation explaining how to use Maven (e.g., how to use m2eclipse & extras to work with Maven projects in Eclipse)
- Consider posting the output of Maven's site:site target to dev.loci.wisc.edu
- Develop a better style checking procedure (look into the checkstyle plugin's predefined rulesets or create our own, and develop a set of Eclipse auto-formatting rules to match)
- Develop better code coverage analysis (e.g., Cobertura & Clirr; see Better Builds with Maven, Chapter 6)
Once the projects listed above have been migrated, I will close this ticket, and create a separate ticket for each of the above tasks with appropriate prioritization.

The imagej project has been migrated from Git to SVN, and a Maven version exists on the ijx branch as of r1364.

More Maven conversions:
- jvmlink: loci-java:r6884
- multi-lut: loci-java:r6885
comment:14 Changed 2010-09-06T22:23:37-05:00 by curtis
Migration of imglib to Maven is more involved and now has a separate ticket: #184.
comment:15 Changed 2010-09-06T23:52:51-05:00 by curtis
More Maven conversions:
- ome-editor: loci-java:r6893
- ome-notes: loci-java:r6892
[NB: This Maven work never migrated to GitHub. See openmicroscopy/bioformats@58b2f9f5d9 for later Mavenization.]
comment:16 Changed 2010-09-09T16:55:34-05:00 by curtis
More Maven conversions:
- imagej (trunk): 5edb0e269f08a596c926bc171d516f7b3f85631f
- test-suite: loci-java:r6908
[NB: The test-suite Maven work never migrated to GitHub. See openmicroscopy/bioformats@58b2f9f5d9 for later Mavenization.]
Remaining projects:
- autogen
- bf-ice
comment:17 Changed 2010-09-10T17:04:08-05:00 by curtis
- Status changed from accepted to closed
- Resolution set to fixed
Maven version of autogen package added in loci-java:r6914. However, the package is out of date and thus needs updating (see ticket #200). The bf-ice package has been removed for the time being, as it was extremely out of date anyway (see also loci-java:#304).
[NB: The test-suite Maven work never migrated to GitHub. See openmicroscopy/bioformats@58b2f9f5d9 for later Mavenization.]
Still lots of work to be done on the Maven front, but the projects are all migrated, so I'm closing the ticket. Next up is merging with trunk: #201.
