             Summary: archetype integration tests fail for fresh release
                 Key: TAVERNA-975
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAVERNA-975
             Project: Apache Taverna
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Taverna Engine
    Affects Versions: engine 3.1.0
            Reporter: Stian Soiland-Reyes
            Assignee: Stian Soiland-Reyes
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: engine 3.2.0


While building taverna-engine 3.1.0 RC1 with {{mvn clean install}}, the build is likely to fail as taverna-activity-archetype has an integration test that generates a dummy activity - this expects other taverna-enigne modules like taverna-workflowmodel-api to be present in the same version (e.g. 3.1.0-incubating).

However the Maven build reactor does not know about this - and so builds archetype BEFORE those modules - and so they are not present in ~/.m2/repository - and crucially during a [VOTE] of a Release Candidate - neither are they available from Maven Central in that version.

After the vote has passed, downstream users won't have this problem, as Maven Central will then include the 3.1.0-incubating release of taverna-engine - although this means a bit of silly as mvn will first download the JARs from Maven Central before replacing them with the freshly compiled ones.

During the 3.1.0 VOTE I propose we recommend building with {{mvn clean install -Darchetype.test.skip=true}} to skip the [maven-archetype integration test|http://maven.apache.org/archetype/maven-archetype-plugin/integration-test-mojo.html]

(Particularly interested users can then build it another time without the option to run those tests)

And for 3.2.0 I propose we modify the pom.xml for archetype-plugin to have a <scope>test</scope> dependency in itsown pom.xml, replicating the list of its https://github.com/apache/incubator-taverna-engine/blob/master/taverna-activity-archetype/src/main/resources/archetype-resources/__rootArtifactId__-activity/pom.xml
