Hello.

There are two branches for Commons Math.

For one, the top-level Java package is
  org.apache.commons.math4
For the other, it is
  org.apache.commons.math3

Unless I'm mistaken, this should imply that maven tries to compile
only files under either
  src/main/java/org/apache/commons/math4
  src/test/java/org/apache/commons/math4
or
  src/main/java/org/apache/commons/math3
  src/test/java/org/apache/commons/math3

But it happens that I have currently files in "math3" not currently
checked in into git: those are new files which git does not remove
when switching branches.
Then when starting a compilation in "master" (where the top-level
is "math4"), lots of compilation errors occur.

The "source" top-level directories do not seem to be specified
in the project's POM.
Can the parent be changed in order to produce the desired behaviour?

Or is there a workaround?
Is there a better way to handle the situation (short of manually
moving the source files back and forth)?

you probably want to take a loot at the stash command from git.

This is very helpful (and needed) when switching between branches.
The source files are required to be tracked by git though (i.e. need to
be added).

Yes, I've used it, but perhaps not in the most efficient way (?).

For backporting, I ended up keeping files from "math4" open in an editor. Switch branch, and copy/paste code to the corresponding "math3" files. :-}

Suggestion for a better way welcome (as requested a few weeks ago)...


afaik, you can also exclude files from the src folder, so that they are
not compiled.

That would be fine too (the "reverse" of Ole's proposal).
