[jira] [Commented] (XALANJ-2651) Migrate build from Ant to Maven

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XALANJ-2651?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=18012692#comment-18012692 ] 

Joe Kesselman commented on XALANJ-2651:
---------------------------------------

Similarly... There's really no good reason to copy xalan-test _inside_ the xalan-j directory tree to include it with the source. The zip/jar tools would be perfectly happy to include it as a sibling directory. But this is what was done in the past, and ... see above.

Possibly saving some resources: `jar` reportedly follows symlinks by default. `tar` can be told to with the --dereference option. So in theory we could produce the equivalent file by symlinking rather than copying. But again, behavior change, should be separated from the Maven cutover.
