[josm-dev] first impressions

[Oliver Raupach]

Hi,

Jenkins is a "continuous integration tool". I think it definitely makes 
sense to build projects with Jenkins.
  - The tests are executed.
  - The software is built.
  - Errors are reported.
  - All automatically after each commit.
  - Jenkins can also run tools like checkstyle, sonar or findbugs.


Ant is no longer "state of the art". The syntax is hard to understand. 
It is too bad to maintain. There is no dependency management. It is no 
standard at all.
How about using maven?

I'm not sure, but was third-party software (oauth.*, org.apache.commons 
.*) included as source code? This is something I've never seen before. 
How is this maintained? This would be much easier with maven.

I mean, there's surely a reason for everything. That was just my first 
impressions when I viewed the source codeand tried to create a plugin....
