A test method should be able require redeployment before or after it has been executed.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: ARQ-596
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ARQ-596
             Project: Arquillian
          Issue Type: Feature Request
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
            Reporter: Geoffrey De Smet
            Priority: Optional


Why would a test method need this?
- before: because it wants a clean database (or clean cache or clean cached history or clean session or clean ...)
- after: because it seriously disrupts the CDI container or enviroment. For example: it takes the configuration and changes it, it deletes some database files, ...

Note that the deployment should be CPU efficient:
If the container just deployed and this is the first test and before=true, then it shouldn't redeploy.
If it is the last test for a deployment and after=true, then it shouldn't redeploy.

Some hints from aslak on where to implement this:
create it as a extension
implement LoadableExtension
create some @Observer(precendece = -1) of EventContext<Before>
then @Inject Instance<Container> and @Inject Instance<Deployment>
read the before.getTestMethod().annotations..
if redeploy is .. container.get().getDeployableContainer().undeploy(deployment.getTestArchive())
