[jira] [Comment Edited] (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=18012700#comment-18012700 ]

------------------------------------------------------------------

Don't forget that if someone wants to use the tests they can just have a dependency on the test JAR. It's just not a good pattern to have the tests split in a separate repository. 

IMO we want the ability for a PR in xalan-java to run all the tests automatically, which is the normal and simple way to do FOSS development. I don't want to even think about what kind of complex GitHub action definition would be needed to do it otherwise.
