Hi laeubi, just wanted to check the current release status. Unfortunately the ops4j Repositories were shut down ( https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/ops4j-snapshots) and the Snapshot artifacts including the new RCP Eclipse container feature are no more available. Due to the fact we are using the version in production for our integration tests since more than one year with just some minor issues we had to do a fork and deploy the artifacts into our own nexus.
In my opinion, you all did a great job getting pax exam to support rcp testing and it would be sad if the feature will never get released and snapshots are unavailable anymore. I know, there are tests missing, but i think it would be a great benefit releasing that feature. Mark that uncovered features as experimental and ship it. Afterwards we can do pull requests to eliminate issues from the community. The issue popped up again because the ExamSystem streams the bundle into a temporary folder and never cleans up them. I am working on a patch to recognize the working directory to avoid risking disk space on our build agents. Am Mittwoch, 2.
