How would you handle the use case that we’ve already had reported: As a user I want to test my integration tests in my IDE by running `mvn integration-test` so that the test environment is not torn down and I can debug and rerun the tests until I’m ready Robert Scholte: I'd say if they want to set up there environment for the integration tests, they'd be running pre-integration-test. Next select in the IDE the test to execute. I don't see an issue here. Calling pre-integration-test implies NOT running post-integration-test. Every time I explain people about how Maven works with phases, they are amazed it doesn't run the post-phase. I doubt we'll see issues if we switch to expected behavior. Based on the different views, I hope to see more involvement of PMC members, because this will be a turning point that probable cannot be undone. With the new phases, the existing pom will still work, and some user opting into after:integration-test knows what they are getting > > My biggest fear is that this will result in an All-Or-Nothing, and I like > to prevent that.

I’ve been playing with the PoC a bit, and TBH it just feels right. For sure I’d prefer a schema change to encoding in a string, but I’m also inclined towards string encoded dependency GAVs for 5.x so that wouldn’t be the worst if we went that way. With pom rewriting, I think we could do a 4.1.0 model version that moved the execution point and priority to attributes, by writing as a 4.0.0 with the string encoded form... iow rewriting in 4.x allows us to tidy up the schema as long as it has a 1:1 mapping to a 4.0.0 modelVersion that gets deployed. > > Robert > > > > > > On 12-11-2019 10:25:42, Stephen Connolly > wrote: > On Tue 12 Nov 2019 at 07:34, Robert Scholte wrote: > > > This is not just MNG-5668, but also contains several non-existing issues, > > that should be mentioned explicitly as they will have huge impact: > > > > - support before:/after: prefix for phase-binding > > > > - introduce priority > > - reduce phases (this one hasn't been implemented, but seems to be the > > reason behind before:/after:) > > > All detailed in the proposal on the wiki: > https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MAVEN/Dynamic+phases > > Reducing phases would be a big change and not before 4.x at least (maybe > 5.x more realistically... at least we’d need to deprecate the phases for a > good while before removing any) > > > > > > I would like see separate branches for all of them, as they all have > their > > own discussion. > > > The whole point of a PoC is the get feedback.
