Please don’t ever remove any of the integration tests. If they don’t apply to specific versions they are skipped as you see and there’s no harm.
They serve as a historical record of what features work in a particular version. I’ve not done specific Maven work for any customer recently, but it has happened where in a highly regulated industry (nuclear, aerospace) changes are prohibitively expensive and so no one wants to upgrade anything especially build tools. They will make the minimal patch from anything upstream to make their changes work. I’ve helped consultants make small patches in Maven, and used the integration tests to verify everything else worked. Yes, they will always be in the history but I can’t imagine it would be very nice for someone in that situation to go hunting through the history to bring back tests in order to verify a change. I think we would all be pretty shocked how many people still actually use Maven 2.x. The support cycle on things like airplanes is upwards of 50 years and no one will change a thing if they don’t have to. I’m sure there’s lots of Maven 1.x and Ant in a bunch of nooks and crannies for that very reason. Didn’t someone just post about writing a book about Maven 2.x? :-) JvZ > On Dec 8, 2019, at 2:10 PM, Karl Heinz Marbaise <khmarba...@gmx.de> wrote: > > Hi, > I'm diving a little bit into the integration tests of maven core... > > and I realized that at the moment this list of IT's is SKIPPED > based on the version of Maven Core: > > mng5889FindBasedir(MvnFileLongOptionModule).................SKIPPED -
