exporting classworlds or testing assembly output

[Josh ChaitinPollak <jo...@offthehill.org>]

Hello,

I have a unit test which tests a shell script. This shell script  
calls java code, so it fails under Maven, because the java coded  
launched by the shell script doesn't have a complete classpath. I can  
work around this by using <useSystemClassloader>, but it turns out  
this was breaking my embedded tomcat.

So I'm wondering, is there any way to export Maven's classworlds  
configuration through an environment variable so I can call  
System.exec() on some java code and have it work?

If not (and this would actually be preferable), is there any way in  
Maven to run tests on an assembly (or other distributable)? If I  
could do that, I could write tests and have them test a fully built  
distributable, which would let the shell scripts assemble the  
classpath the same way we do in production, which would make the test  
much more realistic.

Thanks for any suggestions,

Josh
