Description

Too much of Accumulo's build runs directly out of the project directories, including some in directories designated as "src". Temporary files are sometimes created outside the source directories during unit tests, and other issues. This has caused us to jump through hoops to exclude these temporary files during version control, packaging, and assembly. Instead of jumping through these hoops, we can make sure everything created by the build, including running Accumulo directly out of one's workspace is all done from a Maven /target directory or a user-specified external directory. This will simplify our svn:ignore and .gitignore configuration, as well as make it easier to package and assemble only the pieces we want to include, rather than include a bunch of exceptions in the Maven build configuration.
