It should be possible to add additional elements to the test classpath

Key: MPTEST-47
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MPTEST-47
Project: maven-test-plugin
Type: Improvement
Environment: Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build
1.4.2_07-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2_07-b05, mixed mode)
Reporter: Henning Schmiedehausen
Attachments: maven-test.patch
(this is basically a rehash of MPTEST-16)
For porting unit tests from ant to maven, it was necessary to add certain
pre-produced jars to the test classpath. This is not possible with the 1.6.2
plugin. My solution was (as the solution of some other users), to add a
property which can
be assigned and is then added to the classpath. This allows me to do e.g.
maven.test.classpath=
${basedir}/test/cpload/test1.jar;${basedir}/test/cpload/test2.jar
where test1.jar and test2.jar are jars that must not be present in the build
phase but need to present in the test phase.
There have different solution been discussed. However:
- adding something to the "resources" part of the POM makes it impossible to
automatically download such a jar
through maven.
- adding a property to the dependencies makes it impossible to ship such a test
jar with the distribution and reference
it locally.
and still we currently have no solution at all. I'd therefore propose the
attached patch which allows all three test goals in maven-test-plugin
(test:single, test:test and test:match) to evaluate a property variable called
maven.test.classpath. This
variable (if nonempty) is transferred to a <pathelement path="..."/> element
and can therefore contain multiple elements (separated by e.g. ";").
The attached patch is IMHO the easiest fix for this problem with seems to
affect a lot of maven users.
