[infinispan-dev] [hibernate-dev] Benchmarking 2nd level cache providers?

[Steve Ebersole]

The best bet for something like this is a separate project which pulls
in the proper hibernate dependencies.  Then we can talk with Juca about
getting them set up on a scheduled run.

However, if you want to have the configuration varied for different
runs, I suggest you wait until after the discussions with the Maven
developers to address the numerous specific issues we have encountered
with Maven.  This is exactly one of the issues "on the docket".  We have
issues with this "varied config" piece in the core/testsuite module.
