Mickael Istria commented on JBIDE-11714:
----------------------------------------

> What happens when we need AS 7.0, 7.1 and 7.2 ? Will mvn be ok downloading that ?

You end by multiple GAV <artifactItem> in the <artifactItems> element.

> And I couldn't see how the destination directory ended up being known to the tests ? Which property do they get that information from ?

In the specific case of this test, it's in the swtbot.properties file. Some other tests directly use systemProperties in pom.

> One thing i'm not sure about but did the old requirements unzip into a project target folder as done in this or did it share the unzipped content ?

The "managed by Ant and requirements.properties" approach downloads and unzips in [root]/requirements/target. However, since there is one copy of requirements/ for each job, it is not shared on Hudson.
Locally, if you use the same requirements/ folder, unzipped version are shared (I guess). With Maven, you share only zipped version, in the M2_REPO.

> Currently, jobs depdend on the requirement folder to perform tests (requirement contains scripts aimed to retrieving runtimes for tests). Instead, we should think about creating a Maven Mojo or something more convenient so that test pom.xml could directly contain their setup.
