More Test Results

[Ole Ersoy <ol...@yahoo.com>]

Emmanuel,

I ran more tests and uploaded the document 
with results, shell scripts, etc. to 
my sandbox.

I'll paste it below as well.

QUICK SUMMARY:

Created a parent project, L0Project, with a 
dependencyManagement section
with commons-utils version 2.11.

Create a child project, L1Project,
with a dependency on 3.2
and a test that loads
AbstractBagDecorator.

This runs fine.  

(Emmanuel I could run
other combinations, but I think this should
cover all of them?)

HOWEVER - If you try to import
L1Project into eclipse, it
will not see the class path
to commons-utils 3.2.


CONCLUSION
Overriding dependencyManagement
seems to work fine inside Maven, but
the eclipse plugin needs to support it 
as well.



OK - Here's the apt document with shell
scripts etc. that I ran for testing.  It's also
in my sandbox here:

https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/directory/sandbox/oersoy/maven-testing/eclipse-maven-testing.apt

------------------------------------------
Challenge

     See whether we can make a project
     with packaging set to pom and 
     import it into eclipse.
     
Solution

     Run the following script

----------------------------------------------------------------
    
mvn archetype:create -DartifactId=L0Project
-DgroupId=test
cd L0Project
sed -e 's/jar/pom/' pom.xml | sed -e '10,18d' >
pom.xml.tmp
cat << END >> pom.xml.tmp
<dependencyManagement>
     <dependencies>
          <dependency>
            
<artifactId>commons-collections</artifactId>
             <groupId>commons-collections</groupId>
             <version>2.11</version>
             <scope>test</scope>
          </dependency>
     </dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>
</project>
END
mv pom.xml.tmp pom.xml
cd L0Project
mvn eclipse:eclipse
----------------------------------------------------------------
    

Result

     The script runs fine, but 
     the eclipse plugin does
     did not create an eclipse
     importable project, and it
     tells us that it does not
     like this:
     
     Not running eclipse plugin goal for pom project.
          
Follow Up

     Hopefully there is a way
     to switch this so that it 
     does.  It would have been
     really nice for editing
     the dependencyManagement
     section of a parent pom.
     
     I'll check on Maven Users
     to see whether anyone knows
     how.

          
     

     
     
     
Challenge

     See whether we can set
     a dependency version in
     the dependency management
     section of a pom and then 
     override it on a child pom. 
     
Solution

     Run the following script

----------------------------------------------------------------

mvn archetype:create -DartifactId=L0Project
-DgroupId=test
cd L0Project
sed -e 's/jar/pom/' pom.xml | sed -e '10,18d' >
pom.xml.tmp
cat << END >> pom.xml.tmp
<dependencyManagement>
     <dependencies>
          <dependency>
            
<artifactId>commons-collections</artifactId>
             <groupId>commons-collections</groupId>
             <version>2.11</version>
             <scope>test</scope>
          </dependency>
     </dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>
</project>
END
mv pom.xml.tmp pom.xml

mvn archetype:create -DartifactId=L1Project
-DgroupId=test

pushd L1Project
sed -e '20,21d' pom.xml > pom.xml.tmp

cat << END >> pom.xml.tmp
      <dependency>
         <artifactId>commons-collections</artifactId>
         <groupId>commons-collections</groupId>
         <version>3.2</version>
         <scope>test</scope>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>
</project>
END

mv pom.xml.tmp pom.xml

pushd src/test/java/test

cat << END > AppTest.java
package test;

import
org.apache.commons.collections.bag.AbstractBagDecorator;

import junit.framework.Test;

/**

public class AppTest

    /**
     * Create the test case
     *
     * @param testName name of the test case

    public AppTest( String testName )
    {
        super( testName );
    }

    /**
     * @return the suite of tests being tested

    public static Test suite()
    {
        return new TestSuite( AppTest.class );
    }

    /**
     * Rigourous Test :-)
     */
    public void testApp()
    {
    	AbstractBagDecorator emannuelsBagDecorator;
        assertTrue( true );
    }
}
END

----------------------------------------------------------------
    

Result

     The test runs fine. 











Challenge

     See whether we can import the 
     L1Project into eclipse and have
     the AbstractBagDecorator that the 
     AppTest needs loaded successfully. 
     
Solution

     Import the L1Project into 
     eclipse.
     
Result

     The AbstractBagDecorator
     does not load.

Follow Up

     Check with Maven Dev to see 
     whether this is a known bug.
