-----------------------------------
Summary: The Maven build can't directly handle complex
inter-module dependencies involving the test-framework modules
Key: LUCENE-4365
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-4365
Project: Lucene - Core
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: general/build
Reporter: Steven Rowe
Assignee: Steven Rowe
Priority: Minor
The Maven dependency model disallows cyclic dependencies, of which there are
now several in the Ant build (considering test and compile dependencies
together, as Maven does). All of these cycles involve either the Lucene
test-framework or the Solr test-framework.
The current Maven build works around this problem by incorporating
dependencies' sources into dependent modules' test sources, rather than
literally declaring the problematic dependencies as such. (See SOLR-3780 for a
recent example of putting this workaround in place for the Solrj module.)
But with the factoring out of the Lucene Codecs module, upon which Lucene
test-framework has a compile-time dependency, the complexity of the workarounds
required to make it all hang together is great enough that I want to attempt a
(Maven-build-only) module refactoring. It should require fewer contortions and
be more maintainable.
The Maven build is currently broken, as of the addition of the Codecs module
(LUCENE-4340).
