This is mostly aimed at Prasad...

But I think we should start using the maven-invoker-plugin to run the bits under testsuite/*

As I recall the only reason I created maven-maven-plugin was to set the list of profiles the child executed under. Unfortunately its not terribly easy to add this to the maven-invoker-plugin, since the API which that plugin uses (the core maven-invoker bits) does not expose control over the profiles to be used.

BUT... should be easy enough to simply set a property and use activation to flip them on.

I've recently decided I like the maven-invoker-plugin much more, since it produces by default little output for child builds and clearly states which ones fail. One of the things I don't like about our testsuite/* is that if you run it from the top-level you get a *ton* of output and its hard to tell which pass and which don't.

I'm not going to change anything right now... but I think we should consider dropping maven-maven-plugin and just using maven-invoker- plugin.

What do you think?
