I like this approach and think it will help runtimes in obtaining conformance. Good luck with Maven! Seriously, I think Maven is the best "bad" solution for this.
Also, another consideration would be to make the test artifacts and SCA jars available as Maven artifacts from the Ibiblio repository. Is this something that has been considered?

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)
