There are two types of AS we're testing against to consider here: released AS GAs - current testing approach works properly for it moving AS branches/trunks - current testing approach is highly error prone for it And because our testing approach is identical for released AS GAs and moving AS branches/trunks we should use AS distributions jars only to prevent this problem. In that case you'd be always up2date with jars in the distribution and there'd be no overhead to exclude dependencies on regular basis, upload maven artifacts, ... etc. View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4215211#...
