Fabrizio Giudici commented on MNBMODULE-138:
--------------------------------------------
For the record, this is also blocking a project of mine (blueMarine). My use
case is that I have some "acceptance tests" that are packaged as a plugin of my
application. They are run by installing e.g. a release candidate, then you go
to the update center and install them, then run them by means of a special menu
integrated with the application. It's a very valuable feature since you can
easily have end users (e.g. beta testers) run tests without needing any
software development knowledge, and you're able to run tests on a very wide
target of installations.
I'm going to drop JUnit in favour of TestNG in future, so sooner or later this
won't affect me any longer, but it's not going to happen very soon. So if the
bug is fixed, I'd be happy.

> Key: MNBMODULE-138

> Project: Maven NetBeans Module Plugin
> Issue Type: Task
> Affects Versions: 3.5
> Reporter: Jesse Glick
> Assignee: Jesse Glick
> Priority: Minor
>
> After https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=195041 an NBM can include
> references to external contents, but {{nbm-maven-plugin}} does not yet
> support this. Example: add to app POM
> {noformat}
> <repository>
> <id>netbeans-snapshot</id>
> <url>http://bits.netbeans.org/netbeans/trunk/maven-snapshot/</url>
> </repository>
> ...
> <dependency>
> <groupId>org.netbeans.api</groupId>
> <artifactId>org-netbeans-libs-junit4</artifactId>
> <version>SNAPSHOT</version>
> </dependency>
> {noformat}
> (or just use {{RELEASE70}} version from regular repo when available) and
> build; you get a
> {{application/target/.../platform/modules/ext/junit-4.8.2.jar.external}} text
> file, which is wrong.
> Not a high priority since the only two current uses are in
> {{org-netbeans-libs-junit4}}, which would not normally be included in an app
> (other than in test scope), and {{org-netbeans-modules-junitlib}} which is
> not published in the Maven repo.
