PAX Exam does not require Maven to run, but it is easier to use maven
because maven makes it easier to collect all your transient dependencies
into a common repository.
Whether using Maven or not, you need to make sure you provision all the
bundles required by the test code being run, including the transient
dependencies. If you are getting ClassNotFound exceptions then there are
probably bundles required that are not provisioned.
Provisioning happens in the config() method you must add to your test class.
It will look something like:
@Configuration public static Option[] config() { return options(
frameworks(equinox()), provision(bundle(
"file:///Some/bundle/to/add/bundle.jar"),
provision(bundle(³http://host/some/other/bundle.jar²)
);
}
The Spring framework also has a good integration testing framework using
Junit, and I use that most times. But it is definitely a lot easier to work
with when using Maven as well. If you need to do a lot of integration
testing and use the Spring Framework I would definitely recommend looking
into their framework. And if you want to see how to use Maven to
automatically manage all your transient dependencies for the test you can
check out my blog post on the topic at: http://yetanotherway.blogspot.com/
No matter which way you choose to integration test your bundles in the OSGi
container, Maven can really help you by making it easy to collect the
transient dependencies for you, even if you do not use maven for any other
purpose!

Subject: [equinox-dev] Testing bundles with Pax Exam
HI everyone,
I have been trying use Pax Exam in order to test my bundles running on
Equinox without using Maven, but I got dependencies errors so I could not
get any result for testing my bundles.
Have anybody tried with Pax Exam for Eclipse without Maven? Do you know any
other way to test bundles on Equinox using JUnit?
Thank you in advance
Regards
