Gary Tully updated AMQ-5552:
----------------------------
    Description: 
Users should be able to do $>mvn install on trunk or the source distribution 
and get a validated (smoke-tested) distribution in < 10  minutes.
The smoke-test profile should be enabled for release:prepare

At the moment, more than 3k tests are run, they are not reliable enough and the 
build is gone for a number of hours. This gives a bad first impression.
Or course we should continue to improve the test suite but this has a totally 
different focus.

The smoke-test profile takes a smart cross section of tests in each module that 
validate core functionality. 

It will be an interesting challenge to get the selection right; balancing 
typical use cases with coverage with speed etc.

The tests should be:
 * representative of the module functionality
 * clean - no hard-coded ports and use only space on target
 * fast
 * reliable
 * can be run in parallel (maybe if it allows more tests to be run in the same 
time frame)
