Summary: Remove pax exam dependency from
org.apache.aries.testsupport.unit
Key: ARIES-1188
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARIES-1188
Project: Aries
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Christian Schneider
Like described in
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/aries-dev/201405.mbox/%3C5370E1EA.9040008%40die-schneider.net%3E
I propose to remove the pax exam dependency from
org.apache.aries.testsupport.unit. So some reasons why I think this makes sense:
- testsupport is used in many aries projects. Many of these do not need the pax
exam depdenency. So the dependency binds all these project to a particular pax
exam version and increases coupling
- pax exam is only needed for two classes in test support. ExtraOptions and
AbstractIntegrationTest. ExtraOptions is not really necessary with newer pax
exam versions as most of the features are available directly in the pax exam
DSL. AbstractIntegrationTest just uses the pax exam @Inject. In pax exam 3 this
is replaced with javax @Inject. So this dependency is not necessary anymore.
As far as I know this means we need a new major version of testsupport as we
remove a public class.
I will provide a patch.
