Re-compilation isn't specific to Maven. The reason it is done is because
* tests and their execution are separated
* tests are written as a Java or Groovy programs, not scripts

I'm not a groovy expert, so maybe I'm missing something, but when I was
experimenting with it, I was able to modify {{TestNode.groovy}} and run it via
shell wrapper without explicit maven recompilation. That said your objections
confirms my feeling that this is not quite correct approach, right?

As I've pointed out a couple time already - there's already a way to do this by
using {{-Dorg.apache.maven-failsafe-plugin.testInclude}} sysprop.

Thanks for pointing this our, I need to recheck how this one works.

If you are talking about having a different entry-point into the test system
to make ad-hoc experiments easier - I am all for it. And I think gradle is the
right way to go.

Yes, that the usecase I have in mind. Another one would be a situation when you
are running particular bigtop testcase in from other test scripts for
integration testing.
Anyway, I will try to look at your gradle work on BIGTOP-1201 later this week
to better understand it.
> Completely gradleize the bigtop smokes

> Key: BIGTOP-1222
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BIGTOP-1222
> Project: Bigtop
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Build
> Affects Versions: 0.7.0
> Reporter: jay vyas
>
> Currently, there is a JIRA underway to make running the maven based smoke
> tests easier: BIGTOP-1195.
> Eventually, however, maybe we could run these smokes from gradle. I think
> that will obviate BIGTOP-1195 (Although i still assert a bash driver is a big
> win/gain for bigtop's goals : which are to unify the hadoop packaging and
> deployment paradigm).
> - run the smokes using a simple gradle goal
> - smokes should be easily runnable as scripts, with no need for jar file
> intermediates.
> - The bash driver for BIGTOP-1195 (if accepted, still under debate) should be
> upgraded to use the new gradle smokes
> - Delete old maven smokes.
> This might be a little ambitious, if so others chime in. I'm not a
> gradle/groovy expert but getting more well versed.
