[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (AS7-1111) The servers modules directory is repeatedly copied as part of the build process

[Brian Stansberry (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-1111?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12610984#comment-12610984 ] 

Brian Stansberry commented on AS7-1111:
---------------------------------------

Alternatively, testsuites can be configured to run off of build/target but create their own writable work areas. This is what testsuite/domain does. (The AS still gets pointlessly copied into testsuite/domain/target, but that's just housekeeping.)

Both setting the module path and configuring an alternate location for the writable dirs are standard AS features, so the Arquillian ContainerConfiguration and DeployableContainer impls should support configuring and using those.

> At the moment every module makes it's own complete copy of the application server. This results in the size of the workspace blowing out to over 1.5Gb in size, trashing the OS cache and just generally slowing things down.
> It would be better if we did not copy the modules and bundles directories, an directed the module path to the build/target modules directory.
