Juan Pablo Santos Rodríguez commented on JSPWIKI-770:
-----------------------------------------------------

At work we tackled this by having a separate, sibling module, with several 
submodules:

* one jar module holding the Selenium tests, in order to reuse them (the 
"it-tests-module")
* one war per configuration. Each of these wars has as a dependency 
jspwiki.war, so taking advantage of war overlays each of these wars only 
contain the parts that differ (most probably jspwiki.properties and web.xml?)
* container start/stop can be launched through the appropiate maven plugins, be 
it jetty or tomcat
* Selenium is configured to read tests from the it-tests-module 

Note that this implies moving the current SVN trunk one folder up, so we should 
end up having
$SVN/trunk something like:

{code} 
      + pom.xml                     --> new parent pom
      + jspwiki-war
          + pom.xml                 --> current $SVN/trunk/pom.xml
          + src, test, etc          --> current $SVN/trunk/src, tests, etc
      + jspwiki-selenium
          + pom.xml
          + it-tests-modules
          + jspwiki-vanilla-selenium-war
          + jspwiki-db-selenium-war
          + etc
{code} 

(the new parent pom would have appeared sooner or later as for JSPWIKI-771 
anyways). If you give me a cuople of days I can drop here a sample maven 
configuration to run selenium tests 

Last, this would allow us to drop selenium-server-standalone-2.25.0.jar, the 
only one which is not downloaded from maven repo, being +30MB fat
