[richfaces-planning-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (RFPL-2495) PoC Automatic dowloading of Tomcat binaries in functional tests

[Juraj Húska (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RFPL-2495?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12737228#comment-12737228 ] 

Juraj Húska commented on RFPL-2495:
-----------------------------------

I read about them a little bit, and the problem with both is that they will be as reliable as maven ant task, because it is not the problem of the plugins but with the mirror from where the Tomcat is downloaded.

Therefore, I would set up maven-external-dependency-plugin in that way that:
* during releasing qa repo it will release tomcat binaries to our internal repository under our group id.
* so it will be done just once, and can be repeated till it will be successful

WDYT ?

> Some versions of Tomcat 7 are published in Maven repository. Investigate if it would be useful to rewrite tomcat profiles in qa-parent POM to download Tomcat zip (like JBoss AS 7 does it).
