"Extra" Compiler mojo for non-test, non-main code
-------------------------------------------------
Key: MCOMPILER-128
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MCOMPILER-128
Project: Maven 2.x Compiler Plugin
Issue Type: New Feature
Affects Versions: 2.3.1
Reporter: John Casey
It'd be nice to be able to specify another compile step in the build process,
pointed at different source code and compiling to some alternative location.
Using this approach, one could easily segregate test-fixture code that depends
on the current module from the unit tests for that module, then use something
like the assembly plugin to jar up the compiled test fixtures for distribution.
Obviously, once this "extra" compile step was completed, the resulting location
would have to be added to the appropriate classpath for test compilation, etc.
This could be handled using a system dependency (ick) or something like a
test-resource with filtering turned off (much the way image resources are
handled), which would make it available on the classpath.
