Description: 

A number of comments have been raised that the layout of the Test Suite
artifacts in the SVN repository is not suitable for common
build processors and is also not suitable for commonly used tool sets such
as Eclipse. 

The current layout is like this: 

TestCases/ 
 |-  src/ 
      |- main/ 
          |- java/ 
          |- resources/
               |- ASM_4002/    
                    <--
a contribution 
               |   |- META-INF/
                    <--
contribution META-INF 
               |   |- TestComposite16.composite
    <-- composites, WSDLs, XSDs 
               |   |- Test_ASM_4002.composite
               |- ASM_4003    
                     <--
next contribution 
               |....
               |- General_Java  
                   <--
contribution containing Java artifacts 
                   |- META-INF
                   |- org.oasisopen.sca.test
       <-- Java classes
                   |- TestComposite1.composite
     <-- composites, WSDLs, XSDs
                   |...
                    
                     

Proposal: 

Reorganize the artifacts so that each Contribution is a top level entity,
with separate structure for resources like composites and for code
artifacts like Java classes 

TestCases/ 
 |- pom.xml                  
                     
<-- EXAMPLE Maven build file - top level 
 |- ASM_4002/                  
                    <--
a contribution 
 |   |-  src/ 
 |        |- pom.xml          
                     <--
EXAMPLE Maven build file - subproject level 
 |        |- main/ 
 |            |- resources/
 |            |   |- META-INF/  
                   <--
contribution META-INF 
 |            |   |- TestComposite16.composite
     <-- composites, WSDLs, XSDs
 |            |   |- Test_ASM_4002.composite
 |- ASM_4003                  
                     <--
next contribution 
 |.... 
 |- General_Java                
                   <--
contribution containing Java artifacts 
 |   |-  src/ 
 |        |- pom.xml          
                     <--
EXAMPLE Maven build file - subproject level 
 |        |- main/ 
 |            |- java    
 |            |   |- org.oasisopen.sca.test
        <-- Java classes        
  
 |            |- resources/
 |                |- META-INF
 |                |- TestComposite1.composite
      <-- composites, WSDLs, XSDs
 |                |...
 |- Test_Client                
                    <--
The test client application, treated as a separate (Java) subproject


Note that the Test_Client is effectiively separated from the contributions.

This proposal adds EXAMPLE build files - the initial ones use Maven, but
they are only provided to give assistance 
to folk wanting to build the artifacts.  Other build systems can be
used (I hope to provide an example buildr configuration, for example
and other folks are free to add Ant or artifacts for their favourite build
system) 

Yours,  Mike.
