[jboss-as7-dev] Consolidate Arquillian test infrastructure

[Thomas Diesler]

Folks,

the initial work on consolidating the arquillian test infrastructure 
(AS7-734 <https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-734>) is done.

What you see in pull request 49 
<https://github.com/jbossas/jboss-as/pull/49> installs the latest 
arquillian 1.0.0.Beta2 release to use with all test suites. These are

testsuite
+ smoke
+ spec
+ integration

The AS7 instance is started in managed mode (i.e. in a separate VM). 
There is no arquillian subsystem any more nor any test related jar 
artefacts in modules. Instead the arquillian endpoint is deployed before 
the first test. As a side effect of arq managed it is also possible to 
manually start up an AS7 instance and run the tests as usual. This is 
useful for in container debugging. The maven test goal works as 
expected. You can run individual tests with -Dtest=Foo

For this iteration, the focus was on infrastructure not on individual 
test failures. All tests were ported to the new arquillian API. Tests 
that failed for obvious reasons were fixed the hard ones ignored.

To see which tests were ignored run

 > git grep AS7-734

Attached is a snapshot of the ignored tests. I'll take care of the osgi 
ones. For the others I'd like to ask the respective authors to have a look.

JSF testing is currently disabled completely because of its dependency 
on the arquillian servlet protocol. I'll follow up with the JSF folks so 
we can decide how to resurrect those.

Overall writing integration tests should now be much easier.

cheers
