Well, looks like this passed with 7 +1 votes, nothing negative.

BUT... I forgot... that I updated SHITTY to use the latest groovy- maven-plugin 1.0-beta-3-SNAPSHOT so that SHITTY tests run correctly on Windows. So I'm left with either reverting to the previous release with broken Windows support, or postponing this release until after groovy-maven-plugin (and friends) 1.0-beta-3 is released.

I'm leaning towards the later... as that stuff is soon to be released, which will add another few days until I can make the SHITTY release... :-(

Sorry for the delay so far too... got back from Hawaii and picked up some California sicky muck, which I'm almost rid of.

If you use SHITTY, which I'm happy that folks are, then please do vote for the upcoming groovy-maven-plugin release so I can get this guy sorted.

Also, for those that looked, there is another SNAPSHOT, the cobertura- maven-plugin, which if 2.2 gets release I will use, else I will simply comment it out for now, since its only used for site reporting fluff.

Well, its about time na? The SHITTY (Super Helpful Intergration Testing ThingY) plugin has been around for a while now and has matured to the point warranting a release.

A number of plugins are already using it like:

* groovy+maven integration
* selenium-maven-plugin
* retrotranslator-maven-plugin
* jspc-maven-plugin (v2)

And some external project have started to use it like:

* Apache Geronimo
* Apache Geronimo GShell

And well... there could be others too which I am not aware of.

SHITTY helps make it simple to build integration tests which use specific/known artifacts by combining bits of the maven-clean-plugin + maven-install-plugin and allow flexible test execution (in similar fashion to the maven-invoker-plugin) with additional support to invoke Groovy scripts, run tests in parallel, colorize test output and summaries for quick/glance verification.

The docs are relatively descriptive (IMO) and can be reviewed here:

* http://mojo.codehaus.org/shitty-maven-plugin

This is the first public release, so there are no release notes, just the docs.

* * *

[_] +1 My life has been dramatically improved by the existence of SHITTY
[_] +0  Um... I like cheese, what is SHITTY
[_] -1 SHITTY is shitty... and I want to write you a small novel as to why it will eat your children...

The vote will conclude sometime Tuesday evening (the 20th) PST. Please vote.

Cheers,
