---------------------------------------
Summary: Publish jar of test utilities to Maven
Key: KAFKA-1308
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1308
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: Wish
Reporter: Martin Kleppmann
For projects that use Kafka, and want to write tests that exercise Kafka (in
our case, Samza), it's useful to have access to Kafka's test utility classes
such as kafka.zk.EmbeddedZookeeper and kafka.utils.TestUtils. We can use
{{./gradlew testJar}} to build jar files that contain those classes, but as far
as I know, these are currently not made available in a binary release.
At the moment, we have to check those kafka*-test.jar files into the Samza
repository. To avoid that, would it be possible to publish those jars of tests
to Maven, so that they fit into the normal dependency management?
Or perhaps, if publishing the tests themselves is not appropriate, we could
move the test utilities into a separate module that is published, and make the
tests depend on that module?
