Hi,

I'm working on a Maven Fitnesse plugin. I know there are already two similar
plugins, fitnesse-maven-plugin and trinidad, but the first is hardly
maintained anymore and the later is missing some functionality and the
latest release is from 2010.
When running Fitnesse, you will need to specify the classpath for Fitnesse
to use. This classpath is almost identical as the maven classpath. Maven is
therefor perfect to extract this classpath and supply it to fitnesse. The
plugin will generate the classpath for fitnesse. The plugin can be
configured to include the /target/classes/ directory instead of a compiled
jar. Jar's can be excluded, resources can be specified and static entries
for the classpath for Fitnesse can be specified.
The big advantace is that you do not have to maintain the version of your
jar's to be maintained by hand, but will be generated as part of the maven
build cycle.
In the near future I would like the plugin to be able to execute the
fitnesse tests as part of the build process. (Similar to the trinidad
plugin).
At the moment, I'm working for a financial customer and we are using our
plugin with great success. I would really like this plugin to be shared with
of the world, since I think there are developers out there facing the same
problems.

Cheers, Gijs Sijpesteijn
