-DIRECTORY ORGANIZATION
-======================
-- third-party: contains all the third-party artifacts than needed
-repackaging or needed code modifications.
-- third-party/commons: contains all the parent POM files for the
-projects under the third-party directory. Only one is expected, which
-is the one located under third-party/commons/third-party, but there is
-a directory just in case we need to host more with different
-variations.
-- opendaylight: contains all the artifacts that constitute the
-controller project.
-- opendaylight/distribution: contains all the distributions that can
-be generated by packaging the several artifact. In practice for now
-there are two:
-      - "opendaylight", which is the full distribution of the controller
-The idea of the distribution directory is that more distribution can
-be added at will, maybe just composing subsets of the whole controller
-artifact set.
-
-HOW TO BUILD
-============
-In order to build it's required to have JDK 1.7+ and Maven 3+, to get
-a build going it's needed to:
-1) From the root directory run
-   "mvn clean install"
-2) On successful completion go in the directory:
-"opendaylight/distribution/opendaylight/target"
-
-to pick the zip file of the distribution or controller can be executed
-right from there going into the distribution directory.
-
-Please note that this way no integration tests but only UT will be
-executed, if you are planning on committing code be aware that the
-code will be tested also for Integrations tests hence make sure before
-submitting a patch to build using the command:
-   "mvn clean install -Pintegrationtests"
-to get IT executed.
-
-HOW TO RELEASE ARTIFACTS
-========================
-Artifacts can be released in a bulk fashion or one by one depending on
-the need. Bulk release works well when in the need of establishing a
-baseline, for example on an upcoming major release. Single artifact
-release is useful for example for API bundles which are supposed to be
-used by others, this in fact seal the contract for that given version
-and others can rest assured won't change because the maven repository
-will not allow a the same artifact with the same version to be
-re-deployed.
-
-HOW TO BULK RELEASE ARTIFACTS
------------------------------
-Bulk release of the artifacts MUST be done only and exclusively by
-using the pom.xml present in the same directory of this
-README.OPENDAYLIGHT file. The pom.xml is just a pointer to the main
-distribution directory or in general to the one containing all the
-modules needs release.
-To perform the release from the top level just run:
-
-mvn -B release:prepare release:perform -Dgoals=deploy
-
-Well this is not supposed to be executed by a human but by an apposite
-Jenkins job because no committer or contributor has the necessary
-privileges to escape the code review process needed by the release
-process, but this is the logic behind.
-
-HOW TO RELEASE ONE ARTIFACT
----------------------------
-1) Make sure the artifact doesn't depend on SNAPSHOT  artifacts, as a
-corollary it means that also the parent pom must be a released
-artifact which then will not be present in the repo, so for this kind
-of artifacts it's mandatory to provide a repository section to let it
-download the parent from Opendaylight maven repository
-2) Make sure all the dependencies are also non-SNAPSHOT
-3) Via apposite Jenkins job make sure that the goals:
-
-mvn -B release:prepare release:perform -Dgoals=deploy
-
-is called.
-
-[NOTE WELL]
-The pom.xml in the root level is simply a pointer to the main
-distribution but is needed to overcome some of the limitations in the
-release process.
