[jboss-dev] Hack for Continuous Integration in AS

Had a thought regarding the lack of testability for non-released components in AS. The chicken-egg dilemna is: * We can't validate a release until it passes AS and TCK TestSuites * We can't integrate into AS until a component is released So we work around this by releasing, crossing our fingers, and re-releasing if a problem pops up. Some hack idea is: * Create "component-matrix-continuous" with parent of "component-matrix" * c-m-c may define versioned SNAPSHOTs in the depMgt section, overriding those defined by c-m. * Make a property to set the artifactId of the parent of thirdparty POM to the continuous build: ...then we can set up Hudson runs to test versioned SNAPSHOTs to catch errors that may be coming down the line without affecting the normal build.
