[Biojava-l] Nightly checkin reports (Re: [Biojava-dev] biojava /Security)

[Schreiber, Mark]

These are great!
 
As a wish list suggestion (only if it is possible and it can be done in a reasonable amount of time). Could the name of the person commiting be added to the file. This will be useful for me when backporting to biojava1.3 branch so I can ask the original commiter if I'm not clear on how appropriate a change is to 1.3 and what dependencies are needed etc.
 
Thanks
 
Mark

	Not at the moment.  When I last looked at Maven, I was a bit 
	worried that it didn't seem to make much distinction between 
	the useful functionality is was offering and the policy 
	decisions it was trying to enforce.  I'd be happy to try 
	it out with a new project, but I don't want to roll over 
	an existing BioJava-sized project without a lot of testing 
	and consultation first. 

	Maybe we should try Maven-izing a few BioJava subprojects 
	(biojava-ensembl might be a reasonable candidate) to see 
	how it works.

	Have you looked at all at Quilt: 

	    http://quilt.sourceforge.net/ 

	This still seems to be a bit of a work-in-progress, but it 
	sounds like the basics are working, and it's Apache licenced. 
	I'm tempted to give this a try, anyway. 



	By the way, nightly builds are now going into: 

	    http://www.derkholm.net/autobuild/ 

	I need to do a little more work on the reporting side, but 
	this should be going public in the next few days. 

	     Thomas.
