Testing a M2 plugin ??

[mattias_xdin <ma...@hotmail.com>]

Hi, 

I'm trying to migrate my m1 plugins to m2,  and have some questions before I
get started. 

 

1.	In m1 there was a directory structure and a specific goal to test
the plugin. 

How should I test a plugin in m2. 

 

2.	If the answer to 1. is to junit test it using surefire. 
How would I then populate my MOJO object since some instance variables is
and should be private. 
For instance: 

 

    /**

     * Location of the file.

     * @parameter expression="${project.build.directory}"

     * @required

     */

private File outputDirectory;         

 

3.	Is there a tutorial how to do a complete plugin development cycle,
with testing and all ?
( I used the mojo archetype in archetype plugin to create my plugin project
and then read this, which is a good start 
http://maven.apache.org/guides/plugin/guide-java-plugin-development.html
