[jbosstools-dev] Test failing with Luna? Try the org.eclipse.osgi.compatibility.state fragment!

[Mickael Istria]

Hi all,

As part of Luna came a change that we've not correctly estimated: 
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Equinox/Luna_Framework#Removal_of_the_PlatformAdmin_Service_Implementation 
. This cause some parts of Eclipse to be failing with surefire as they 
depend on a class which is not available in default Equinox bundles any 
more. The TEMPORARY workaround is to add a dependency to your 
tycho-surefire-plugin to fragment org.eclipse.osgi.compatibility.state.
So in case of failing test, try to add the fragment locally, and if it 
works better, open a bug to keep track of that change (make me a dep of 
JBIDE-16161). This should be fine for JBT 4.2.0.Alpha1 build and tests 
against Luna M3.

Then by Luna M4, this should happen: 
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=417429 , and hopefully, it 
will remove most of our dependencies on this somehow deprecated 
PlatfromAdmin service. We'll be able to get rid of the additional 
dependency on surefire, and everything will be fine.

In case you have a message in your tycho-surefire-plugin saying "Could 
not acquire PlatformAdmin", you can safely ignore it 
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=417429 . It's just a 
warning. What's important is whether your tests do work or not, and if 
not, whether adding the fragment helps.
