Re: [jira] [Comment Edited] (XALANJ-2651) Migrate build from Ant to Maven

We are already running some of the tests when a new version is checked in, by having the projects depend on each other for that.

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.
