Problems building openejb/itests module

[Prasad Kashyap <go...@gmail.com>]

I think most people run G builds by skipping tests and itests. Is there
anybody out there that runs itests ?

I am finding that the itests happens to be quite a flaky module, especially
in it's DDLExporterTask.java. I amost always get the following exception
when I do a top level build:

     [exec] BUILD FAILED
     [exec] File...... C:\Documents and
Settings\Administrator\.maven\cache\maven-
multiproject-plugin-1.3.1\plugin.jelly

*Is this being caused by the fact that itests does not have a dependency on
the xmlbeans module ? (Validator class is a part of the xbean-2.0.0.jar)*

*But then when I re-run the top level build or run maven from the
openejb/modules/itests directory, it completes successfully.*
