Implemented, leftover is migrate the deb packaging from 0.18 branch to master using maven.

Hiya

I tried building with maven - a couple of things:

1. my mvn command turned out to be mvn3
2. maven complained of the following:

[WARNING]
[WARNING] Some problems were encountered while building the effective model for org.elasticsearch:elasticsearch:jar:0.19.0-SNAPSHOT
[WARNING] 'dependencies.dependency.systemPath' for sigar:sigar:jar should not point at files within the project directory, ${basedir}/lib/sigar/sigar-1.6.4.jar will be unresolvable by dependent projects @ line 213, column 25
[WARNING]
[WARNING] It is highly recommended to fix these problems because they threaten the stability of your build.
[WARNING]
[WARNING] For this reason, future Maven versions might no longer support building such malformed projects.
[WARNING]

but it built successfully

Cool, btw, that warning is "ok".

Yeah, build is here ok too. Really nice :) BTW: what made you switching?

Some tests are failing (not sure if related to maven).

testSnapshotOperations * 2
assertThat(clusterState.state().metaData().index("test").mapping("type1"), notNullValue());

testRequiredRoutingMappingWithAlias
assertThat(client.prepareGet("test", "type1", "1").setRouting("0").execute().actionGet().exists(), equalTo(false));

testScriptFieldUsingSource
assertThat("Failures " + Arrays.toString(response.shardFailures()), response.shardFailures().length, equalTo(0));

testFiltersWithCustomeCacheKey
assertThat("Failures " + Arrays.toString(searchResponse.shardFailures()), searchResponse.shardFailures().length, equalTo(0));

@karussell switched because gradle made some changes in latest version that make it harder to get started without IDE support. Also, since I moved all the plugins to their own repos, then we can have a single module, and I never had major problems with maven on single module projects, its the multi module ones that caused me pain.

Ah, ok.

I'm now done with the migration of the deb pkg and ElasticSearch even starts ;)

Pull request is coming ...

So, are the plugins still hosted on Maven somewhere? Can't find them in their pre-0.19 location.
