invoker is the best for testing plugins.
verifier based tests are hard to get to work during release:prepare
release:perform (see the problems I had with surefire 2.5)
invoker is the current best for plugin testing IMHO
mock repository plugin is not ready yet

Hello,
After posting a (hackish) patch in http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MAPPASM-92
I've decided to do more work on appassembler to provide a better
solution to the problem and perhaps make it more flexible. It seems
to me that before doing any fixing or refactoring, there should be a
good set of integration tests, though.
Right now, it seems that the tests are more specific to the
implementation of the plugin and I'd like to use the verifier
combined with the mock-repository plugin to test the outputs based
on a given pom.
I haven't really participated in open source projects before and I
am posting here on the recommendation of Trygve. Is it the norm to
create Jira tickets for new work like this? How far do things get
broken down? I am used to fairly fine-grained tickets for tracking
development tasks.
Any input would be welcome.
Thanks,
Dave
