Konrad Windszus updated SLING-7166:
-----------------------------------
Fix Version/s: Commons Testing 2.1.4
> Deprecate Commons Testing
> -------------------------
>
> Key: SLING-7166
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-7166
> Project: Sling
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Testing
> Affects Versions: Commons Testing 2.1.2
> Reporter: Konrad Windszus
> Assignee: Konrad Windszus
> Fix For: Commons Testing 2.1.4
>
>
> The module {{Commons Testing}} seems to be rather old and not too actively
> maintained. For most (if not all) of its classes there are nowadays better
> replacements:
> For the individual packages I consider the following alternatives the better
> choices
> # {{o.a.s.commons.testing.integration}}: Teleporter or the
> {{org.apache.sling.testing.clients}}should be used
> # {{o.a.s.commons.testing.jcr}}: jcr-mock should be used instead
> # {{o.a.s.commons.testing.junit}}: should be moved to
> org.apache.sling.testing.rules
> # {{o.a.s.commons.testing.osgi}}: osgi-mock should be used instead
> # {{o.a.s.commons.testing.sling}}: sling-mock should be used instead
> # {{org.apache.sling.commons.testing.util}}: if really useful can maybe moved
> to sling-mock as well, but probably not that useful.
> Apart from that there are IMHO better alternatives for all those classes
> available, there are certain limitations which are IMHO not easy to fix:
> # {{o.a.s.commons.testing.jcr}} uses Jackrabbit 2 only and never Oak, that
> means that the ITs based on those classes are pretty far away from what we
> ship now in Sling.
> # {{o.a.s.commons.testing.jcr}} is currently not compatible with Java 9
> (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-7159)
> The according discussion around this can be found in
> https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg70983.html.
