Subject: Runtime-specific artifacts in conformance tests
In looking at the conformance assembly tests, I noticed a number of runtime-specific artifacts required for the build. Given these are supposed to be vendor-neutral, they probably should be removed before the tests are finalized:
- Tuscany SCA API jar
- Tuscany Maven Zip plugin
- Tuscany Maven Bundle Plugin
- Tuscany Maven Eclipse Plugin
- Tuscany runtime and Eclipse runtime libraries transitively pulled in by the Test_Client module. Running the Maven dependency plugin shows:
org.oasis-open.sca.assembly:Test_Client:jar:1.0
[INFO] +- org.apache.tuscany.sca:tuscany-sca-api:jar:2.0-SNAPSHOT:compile
[INFO] +- org.apache.tuscany.sca:tuscany-node-launcher-equinox:jar:2.0-SNAPSHOT:compile
[INFO] | +- javax.servlet:servlet-api:jar:2.5:compile
[INFO] | +- org.eclipse:osgi:jar:3.5.0-v20090520:compile
[INFO] | \- commons-cli:commons-cli:jar:1.2:compile
[INFO] +- org.apache.tuscany.sca:tuscany-node-api:jar:2.0-SNAPSHOT:compile
I realize the Tuscany SCA API jar was included because the OASIS version is not available from a public Maven repository. However, this could be handled by including the OASIS jar in the subversion repository and creating a Maven project that invokes an Ant script to install the jar in the local Maven repository where it will be available to the build. If would helpful, I can provide this.
I am unclear as to why the other plugins and runtime-specific artifacts are needed to build the test artifacts. I'm happy to help remove these once someone explains what they are intended for.
