to Alan:
currently you can not get your test framework as a service and you can not
declare your test as a provider for a test infrastructure like jenkins (i.e.
there is no --uses and --provides).
Fair point, uses/provides can't currently be augmented via the
command-line but this is only because it hasn't been needed.
to Alan and Sander:
setting command line arguments or using a build tool to fiddle them for you is
exactly what we do not want here! We want fidelity between the compile time
configuration and the runtime configuration. Having to play with -Xpatch at
runtime is conceptually exactly like setting the classpath. I don't want to
explain to the Java devs that we have fidelity between compile-time and runtime
on source code but not on test code.
I hope in time that there will be support from the tools, plugins, test
runners ... so that regular developers don't need to be concerned with this.
