Hello, In order to run the integration tests of Pulsar Adapters we need the "integration tests" jar of Pulsar.
I have updated the Release process page for Pulsar and added "-DintegrationTests" to the command line that deploys the artifacts to Maven Central. https://github.com/apache/pulsar/wiki/Release-process This way when we release Pulsar Adapters 2.8.1 (and 2.9.0) there will be no need to build Pulsar locally. You can see the problem here, in the Pulsar Adapters readme file https://github.com/apache/pulsar-adapters in which I described the procedure to build the Adapters from sources during the past 2.8.0 release of Adapters. The alternative would be to modify the pom.xml in order to include "tests" while activating the "apache-release" profile, but I believe it is better to keep it simple and to not add to many special cases to the pom.xml file (that is already full of profiles) Thoughts?
