Karl Heinz Marbaise updated MNG-7277:
-------------------------------------
    Description: 
Currently the following test:
{code:java}
    public void 
testNonNumericVersionRepresentationReturnsANumberFormatException()
    {
        try
        {
            new DefaultArtifactVersion( "..." );
        }
        catch ( Exception e )
        {
            assertTrue( "We expect a NumberFormatException to be thrown.", e 
instanceof NumberFormatException );
        }
    }
{code}
is expected to throw an {{NumberFormatException}} which is not the case because
The exception is *not* thrown by the underlying code. 
This means this test is wrong. The {{catch}} part will never being executed but 
the test is reported being green!

The following test: {{public void testOsActivationProfile()}} in 
{{DefaultProfileManagerTest}} class has been commented out for years now  (seen 
on maven-3.8.x branch) which means it has never run for years. In current 
master it's defined {{@Disabled}} which means it does not run either.
