Richard S. Hall commented on FELIX-310:
---------------------------------------
Actually, an initial version of such a maven plugin already exists in the Felix
trunk in tools/maven2/maven-felix-plugin/. Alex started this, but wasn't able
to finish it due to lack of time.
Currently, the launching of bundles is pretty well taken care of, but the
testing aspect still needs some work, but in reality I think the two are
orthogonal...if we can get the felix plugin working well for automatically
launching Felix and starting bundles and their dependencies, then we should be
able to define some bundles/services that define a testing framework that can
use this mechanism to auto-launch Felix with a set of bundles for testing
purposes. Whether or not this should be integrated into the bundle plugin is
open for debate...
It would be great if someone want to look at this plugin and get see what it
would take to finish it off...then the next step is to define how to do testing
with it. Any one interested in working on this?
Felix could really benefit from someone working on these two issues, since we
really need to start building our own TCK...
