JBoss Retro CVS to SVN Migration

[pgier]

I would like to move jboss retro from cvs to svn. The proposed new repository location is:
https://svn.jboss.org/repos/jbossretro

The proposed move date is Tuesday May 1st.

A test conversion was done in the QA lab a few weeks ago, and the tags seem to have been converted correctly. Adrian is currently the project lead on this project, so IT would like his ok on this before doing the final conversion.

The JIRA issue is here: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBIT-1328

Ok. But how does Maven handle compiling on JDK5 and testing on JDK1.4?

NOTE: This is also required for jbossretrocheck.

i.e. you run jbossretro on JDK5 then you check there are no missing features
for your project by running the retrocheck on JDK1.4

The maven surefire plugin does have an option to specify a jvm so you can run the main maven process under 1.5 but fork the tests in 1.4.
It's something I'm still working on, so I don't have a detailed answer for you.

But the move to SVN won't affect this. We'll still be building with ant for now ;-). For next week I just want to get the source out of the old CVS repo so that directory changes can start being tracked.
