[jboss-as7-dev] Coping with cyclic test dependencies

[Paul Robinson]

All,

JBoss transactions uses Arquillian for some of the project tests. Therefore JBossTS has a dependency on AS7 (for the Arquillian container dependency), but as AS7 consumes JBossTS, the target AS7 version is not available when we do the release of JBossTS. We get around this at the moment by referencing a SNAPSHOT version of AS7 in the Arquillian container dependency. However, this does mean that our release will reference the SNAPSHOT dependency.

This must be a common issue that other projects have. I was wondering what the accepted pattern was to solve this issue?

Paul.
