Hi Andrew, Good point. The only reason this separation of "profiles" hasn't happened yet is that no one has expressed a need for it or thought to implement it. Obviously, we've now discovered the need throughout these unit testing discussions.
It does seem like a relatively easy way to better separate out the two different uses of Maven (at least until we are able to simplify the install process even further). Hopefully we can find a volunteer to look into this further. - Tim On 8/3/2010 6:56 AM, Andrew Woods wrote: > On a separate yet related note, one of the issues that has clearly > emerged from this discussion is that within the DSpace context the Maven > build framework is being leveraged for two differing uses: development & > installation.
