Note: I sent this on Friday (2011-03-18) but saw no response, so am resending on the chance that it somehow got lost in transit.
Caveat: I am new to Maven. I've read the online documentation but haven't found a good source of sample POMs other than for very basic configurations. I have a POM that builds a command-line tool. I figured out how to use the assembly plugin to build a self-contained jar, but now I need to be able to run a series of test cases using that jar and a custom shell script to invoke it. I have several questions: 1) Where do I put my custom shell script in the hierarchy? I've put the source into src/main/bin for now. 2) For testing I'd like to copy the shell script and self-contained jar (jar-with-dependencies) to a test directory (similar to test-classes) and run the jar from there. How do I do that? 3) The command-line tool analyzes compiled Java code from a jar and builds an XML file from the analysis. What I'd like to do for my test cases is compile a bunch of different tests into different jars, then for each jar run the tool over it, generating an XML file, and do a diff on the XML file against expected output. How do I do that? 3a) Alternatively I could write a test application that used Runtime.exec() to run the tool for each test case, then read in the resulting XML files using an XML parser and made a bunch of assertions about each file, but frankly I'd rather avoid writing the extra code. If I need to, however, how would I do that? I don't necessarily need the actual POMs written for me; pointers to more complete samples doing similar tasks would be fine.
