Today we discussed a couple hitches with the existing build system within the AS, exposing a few cases encountered as a result of bringing EJB3 out of the AS. The consensus, to be executed:

* Copy of build scripts, configurations, etc from AS "testsuite" module to Maven "org.jboss:jboss-test"

* Deprecation of these moved components in AS "testsuite", forward development to continue in Maven component

* No AS component may depend on EJB3. This will allow us to resolve cyclic dependencies.

* All AS components must have working POM, Maven build, and Hudson runs to publish snapshots at least once weekly; this will allow IT to safely month-old snapshots while ensuring the latest is always in the repo. How does this also ensure the artifact gets placed into thirdparty? Or do we care? Paul?

* Each project/module is responsible for its own publishing to Maven repo. Note that build itself is implementation-specific to each module (and may be done in Ivy/Ant etc), but the resultant artifact must be published to the Maven repo to be accessible from other projects.
