I was thinking of ITs for the system as a whole.
The core-integration-testing module for the Maven system tests works
well and under the current structure that might be the best way to
go.
I think Dan has replicated such an environment for plugin testing
which sounds perfect - though I have to admit I haven't looked at the
surefire tests just yet to see how that works.
This actually brings me to a bigger question though - in Maven we
realised early on that each plugin would need to be decoupled from
the
core release cycle. NMaven is still in the stage where all the
plugins
are in sync with the larger system - is that expected to continue, or
is it likely the NMaven core libraries will be one thing released
together, and then the plugins folded into /plugins/ ?
I would expect that as long as we remain in the incubator to release
the
core and plugins together. When we graduate, decoupling the releases
makes
sense, provided that the NMaven core API is stable.
Sounds like a reasonable plan. Decoupling too early just makes it hard
to change when you discover you do need to make sweeping changes and
NMaven is still pretty young.

Under the Maven 2.1 trunk, I see there are a lot of new core
integration
testing plugins. Does anyone on the list have experience on using
these? And
possibly be able to help out by setting up a few tests to get things
started?
