Michael Semb Wever updated CASSANDRA-16557:
-------------------------------------------
    Description: Backport   (was: Cassandra resolves dependencies and generates 
maven pom files through the use of 
[maven-ant-tasks|http://maven.apache.org/ant-tasks/]. This is no longer a 
supported project.

The recommended upgrade is to 
[resolver-ant-tasks|http://maven.apache.org/resolver-ant-tasks/]. It follows 
similar APIs so shouldn't be too impactful a change.

The existing maven-ant-tasks has caused [some headaches 
already|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-16359] with internal 
super poms referencing insecure http:// central maven repository URLs that are 
no longer supported.

We should also take the opportunity to 
 - define the "test" scope (classpath) for those dependencies only used for 
tests (currently we are packaging test dependencies into the release binary 
artefact),
 - remove the jar files stored in the git repo under the "lib/" folder.

These two above points have to happen in tandem, as the jar files under 
{{lib/}} are those that get bundled into the {{build/dist/lib/}} and hence the 
binary artefact. That is, all jar files under {{lib/}} are the project's 
"compile" scope, and all other dependencies defined in build.xml are either 
"provided" or "test" scope. These different scopes for dependencies are 
currently configured in different maven-ant-tasks poms. See 
https://github.com/apache/cassandra/commit/d43b9ce5092f8879a1a66afebab74d86e9e127fb#r45659668
