Description

Suggestion:

1) Bootstrapping NPanday with current NPanday. (not possible on MVN 2.2.x)
2) Require Maven>= 3 for building NPanday>= 1.3.1

We should still make sure, that NPanday does work with Maven 2.2.x, though.

Integration tests should run both in Maven 2.2.1 and Maven 3.0.2 or 3.0.3

TODO:

• Add a Jira-Issue
• change npanday.stable.version to npanday.bootstrap.version
• preconfigure npanday.bootstrap.version with ${project.version}
• update docs (http://incubator.apache.org/npanday/docs/1.3-incubating/developers/building.html)
• document how to do the first build (when npanday-settings.xml not yet exists)

Helpers on Windows for rapid switching of maven versions:

mvn3.bat (somewhere on the PATH)

set M2=C:\Program Files\Apache\apache-maven-3.0.2\bin
set M2_HOME=C:\Program Files\Apache\apache-maven-3.0.2
set PATH=C:\Program Files\Apache\apache-maven-3.0.2\bin;%PATH%
mvn --version

mvn2.bat (somewhere on the PATH)

set M2=C:\Program Files\Apache\apache-maven-2.2.1\bin
set M2_HOME=C:\Program Files\Apache\apache-maven-2.2.1
set PATH=C:\Program Files\Apache\apache-maven-2.2.1\bin;%PATH%
mvn --version
