> Currently we use the test-custom and test-custom2 profiles in
> openjpa-persistence-jdbc/pom.xml to enable testing of a variety of databases.
> Basically anything that does not have a publicly available JDBC drivers.
> This support works well if you run the build manually, but isn't always
> perfect when using a continuous build system.
> In many continuous build systems you want to have a single build definition
> which can be run on any number of machines. Ideally each machine could store
> the database settings in ${user.home}/.m2/settings.xml. Where this becomes a
> problem is if a single machine wants to use our test-custom profile in
> conjuction with another one. For example mvn -Ptest-custom,test-custom-oracle
> clean install. In order to make this work Maven would have to set variables
> in test-custom-oracle and then read them in the test-custom profile. Ensuring
> that the properties are handled in the correct order is cumbersome and
> doesn't seem to work in recent versions of maven / surefire.
> To resolve the problem I propose creating specific profiles for testing with
> various proprietary databases. These profiles rely on the user running mvn
> install:install-file ${maven args} to install a copy of the jdbc drivers in a
> local repository prior to running, but after that one time setup step it's a
> lot easier to run tests on various databases (manually or on a build system).
