Steven Bethard commented on UIMA-2471:
--------------------------------------
I think "verify.bsh" is just an accidental copy-paste from wherever I found the
maven-invoker-plugin boilerplate. There aren't any asserts for the integration
tests - they'll automatically fail if any of the projects in src/it/* fail to
build.
The jcasgen-maven-plugin-m2e-tests is a separate module because that's how
Eclipse tests are usually written:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Tycho/Packaging_Types#eclipse-test-plugin
If there's a way to put Eclipse tests into the normal Maven layout, I wasn't
able to find it.

> To properly use JCasGen in a Maven build, it would be nice to have a real
> Maven plugin dedicated to JCasGen. The current workaround is a bit complex:
> you have to use a uimaFIT wrapper of JCasGen plus the exec-maven-plugin and
> the build-helper-maven-plugin:
> http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/uima-user/201010.mbox/%[email protected]%3E
> This workaround also interacts poorly with Eclipse. There's no m2e connector
> for the exec-maven-plugin, which means you have to add some configuration to
> your pom:
> http://wiki.eclipse.org/M2E_plugin_execution_not_covered
> And then the plugin will be executed on every build - even if you haven't
> modified they type system descriptor - which can be quite painful for large
> type systems.
> Instead, I'd like to see a jcasgen-maven-plugin that allows you to write
> something like:
> <plugin>
> <groupId>org.apache.uima</groupId>
> <artifactId>jcasgen-maven-plugin</artifactId>
> <configuration>
> <typeSystem>src/main/resources/TypeSystem.xml</typeSystem>
> </configuration>
> <executions>
> <execution>
> <goals>
> <goal>generate</goal>
> </goals>
> </execution>
> </executions>
> </plugin>
> This plugin would also have a corresponding m2e connector that only runs
> JCasGen when the type system file changed.
> I spent some time trying to put a first draft of these two things together.
> Here's a jcasgen-maven-plugin:
> http://cleartk.googlecode.com/git/jcasgen-maven-plugin/
> And here's an m2e connector for that plugin:
> http://cleartk.googlecode.com/git/jcasgen-m2e-connector/
> If you'd like to try them out, I've deployed the jcasgen-maven-plugin to
> Maven Central:
> http://search.maven.org/#search%7Cga%7C1%7Ca%3A%22jcasgen-maven-plugin%22
> And I've created an Eclipse update site for the m2e connector:
> http://cleartk.googlecode.com/git/jcasgen-m2e-connector/org.cleartk.plugin.jcasgen.m2e.repo/target/repository/
> The pom XML snippet I gave above should work, except that the group is
> "org.cleartk" instead of "org.apache.uima".
> Is there any interest in this? I'd be happy to help transition the code over
> to Apache if others would like to see this as part of the UIMA distribution.
