[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (HSEARCH-467) publish Maven artifacts containing the testsuite

[ http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HSEARCH-467?pag... ] Sanne Grinovero commented on HSEARCH-467: ----------------------------------------- three reasons: convention: it's a convention to be able to depend on the test using a dependency type {{<type>test-jar</type>}} , not used often but could be useful for anybody; I actually use some little things in the Search testsuite as starting point for tests in other project, would love to avoid copy/paste. users reporting bugs: some people on forums - can't find reference now - would have used above strategy instead of zipping a full eclipse directory to create a unit test starting from SearchTestCase, but as they couldn't they zipped huge packets of huge spring / struts /... makes it hard to help out. our own modules: suppose I started working on Infinispan backend in a separate module, how could I depend on other test helpers like SearchTest avoiding code duplication? -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/secure/Administrators.... - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
