nicolas de loof commented on SUREFIRE-508:
------------------------------------------
The command line limitation is blocking here. As GWT apps are web-layer they pull all project (business, persistence..) dependencies and get a long dependencies list. With maven repo path we end with CLASSPAHT far longer than the Windows XP 8191 chars limitation.
> cannot run GWTTestCases with surefire
> -------------------------------------
>
> Key: SUREFIRE-508
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-508
> Project: Maven Surefire
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: classloading
> Affects Versions: 2.4.3
> Reporter: nicolas de loof
>
> GWTTestCase require some complex setup, as tje GWT compiler requires acces to the java sources, and classpath scanning for available jars at runtime :
> <plugin>
> <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
> <configuration>
> <additionalClasspathElements>
> <additionalClasspathElement>src/main/java</additionalClasspathElement>
> <additionalClasspathElement>src/test/java</additionalClasspathElement>
> <additionalClasspathElement>target/generated-sources/gwt</additionalClasspathElement>
> </additionalClasspathElements>
> <useManifestOnlyJar>false</useManifestOnlyJar>
> <systemProperties>
> <property>
> <name>gwt.args</name>
> <value>-out target/www-test</value>
> </property>
> </systemProperties>
> <argLine>-Xmx256M</argLine>
> </configuration>
> </plugin>
> Even with this configuration, the test fails with a tomcat ClassCastException "GWTShellServlet is not a Servlet"
> I may be wrong, but it seems the useManifestOnlyJar=false mode still uses the tmp file classpath elements to build it's classpath, and not the system classpath.
