Hi,
ClassWorlds is your friend if you need to do classloader fine-tuning.
For example (taken in an old poc, so this should be adapted to use
annotations etc.), something along the following would create a classpath
with test scope elements.
...
public class SomeMojo extends AbstractMojo
{
/**
* @parameter expression="${project.testClasspathElements}"
*/
private
List<http://www.google.com/search?sitesearch=java.sun.com&q=allinurl%3Aj2se%2F1+5+0%2Fdocs%2Fapi+List>
<String <http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/String.html>>
testProjectArtifacts;
...
protected
ClassLoader<http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/ClassLoader.html>
getClassLoader()
{
try
{
ClassWorld world = new ClassWorld();
ClassRealm realm = world.newRealm("project");
for
(String<http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/String.html>
artifact
: testProjectArtifacts)
{
getLog().debug("Constituent : " + artifact);
realm.addConstituent(new
File<http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/io/File.html>
(artifact).toURL());
}
return realm.getClassLoader();
}
catch
(Exception<http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/Exception.html>
e)
{
throw new
RuntimeException<http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/RuntimeException.html>
("WTF", e);
}
}
