[forge-dev] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (SEAMFORGE-109) Wrapper for calling project's classes using mvn exec:java

[Paul Bakker (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/SEAMFORGE-109?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12597839#comment-12597839 ] 

Paul Bakker commented on SEAMFORGE-109:
---------------------------------------

What would be the best place for this? I was thinking in a new facet (ProjectExecutionFacet) in dev-plugins. The facet is mostly an API for plugin authors. We can also add a plugin that exposes the facet to end-users. Thoughts?

> The Arquillian plugin uses mvn exec:java to invoke @Deployment methods within tests that are part of the user's code. We discussed this on the mailinglist. This is a way to invoke code within the project without having to build a classloader that loads the whole user's classpath.
> This is how I described it on he mailinglist:
> "For the plugin I now just generate a new class with a main method to the project's test-source folder. After that I use an mvn exec:java to run the class. It's less ideal because the plugin now adds a user visible utility class to the project, but it's not really a problem I believe. The exporter class is also runnable outside of Forge, so that's good too."
> I'm still polishing the code, but I'll add a link to github when it's checked in.
