[jira] Commented: (SUREFIRE-790) Allow forked process to access the Maven session of parent

["Kristian Rosenvold (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-790?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=283397#comment-283397 ] 

Kristian Rosenvold commented on SUREFIRE-790:
---------------------------------------------

Can you give a clearer indication as to why a test should need to be resolving dependencies on its own ? Some specific use cases seem to be in order, since this issue on first looks seems like a clear "wont' fix" to me.

> Forked process should be able to get information from a "parent process", which is a Maven build execution.
> This will allow the test to access information like which pom.xml file being processed, settings.xml and Maven Reactor plugin. 
> This feature is needed to any test which want to interfere with Maven repositories with Aether, for instance.
