Mojo testing is something I have been wanting to raise on this list for
last couple of days as well ;-)
Following is the only reference available, I have been digging into
sources last couple of days to code up mojo tests.
http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAVEN/Maven+Plugin+Harness
Apparently there are different posssible approaches to unit testing
Mojos/Plugins. This is what I found:
a) Simple JUnit test case.
b) extend PlexusTestCase (see Continuum IT sources)
c) extend AbstractMojoTestCase (see maven-install-plugin sources).
d) use Maven Embedder, Plexus Commandline utils (see under
maven-eclipse-plugin sources - master project test)
e) use JMockObjects (see maven-clover-plugin or Cargo Maven extension
sources).
It would be great if Maven devs (or others) can chip in notes/thoughts
on these approaches and what might be the appropriate scenarios for each
approach :-) - I am happy to document them!
Cheers,
Rahul

Subject: [M203] Writing tests for Plugins (Java Mojos)
Hi,
is there any documentation around about writing tests for maven
plugins?
I saw that some plugins subclass org.codehaus.plexus.PlexusTestCase
for theire tests but a simple example of a "typical" maven plugin test
would be helpful.
