Extended maven-nunit-plugin to support systemProperties configuration
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-2403
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2403
Project: Maven 2
Type: Improvement
Components: Sandbox
Environment: Windows XP
Reporter: James Carpenter
Attachments: maven-nunit-plugin-1.3.1.jpm-sources.jar
h3. Summary
I have extended the maven-nunit-plugin to support the use of systemProperties.
Unfortunately, as I am working from an in-house copy I can't easily make a
patch file for you.
h3. Significant Changes
1) Addition of new Properties class.
2) Several small changes within the NUnitEnvironment and NUnitMojo classes.
3) Upgrading org.codehaus.plexus:plexus-utils from version 1.0.4 to version 1.1
(necessary to gain some enhancements to the plexus Commandline class)
h3. Unrelated Changes
1) Somewhat different POM inheritance since I'm using an in-house version. If
you take the changes above, everything should work out.
h3. Motivation
By combining this change to the maven-nunit-plugin with my change to the
maven-exec-plugin (See [MEXEC-4|http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MEXEC-4]) its
possible to create a cross-language integration test.
My C# based NUnit test can use the .NET Process class to execute "mvn
exec:java" as part of a \[TestFrameworkSetUp\] annotated method in an nunit
test. The exec:java goal within the C# code's POM just so happens to start up
a java based server. (I actually have a little C# utility class to make this
easy.) The nunit test methods can then perform integration tests requiring
communication with the java server process. Upon completion of the tests a
\[TestFrameworkTearDown\] annotated method in the nunit test can shut down the
server process.
