Hey all,

So I just came across the new Pax Exam maven plugin.  It's super cool
and exactly the kind of thing I've been looking for.  Now, one
question I have is how does it pass the maven dependencies to Pax
Exam?  What I'm wondering is if it will pull dependencies out of the
reactor or not.  This is extremely important in a multi-module project
where you want to have a separate project module just for integration
tests.  I'm hoping that the maven dependencies are resolved in the
maven plugin and the file names are passed to Pax Exam, rather than
passing the maven artifact id and letting the maven url handler do the
resolution.  Is that the case?  If not, I'll create an issue and work
on creating a patch.

The 2 things that have always turned me off Pax Exam in the past has
been the inability to pull dependencies from the maven reactor and
that the tests are always bundled and loaded into the OSGi framework.
If the maven paxexam plugin fixes the former and we can get PAXEXAM-30
resolved, I'll be one happy dude when it comes to doing integration
testing of OSGi bundles.

Thanks,
Rich
