Sent the following email to jboss-as7-dev at lists.jboss.org (preferred location for dev discussion by AS team).

Coping with cyclic test dependencies
------------------------------------
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.

> Pom uses jboss-as.version which assumes a build of AS7 but in theory that version would not exist until this version of Narayana was released.
> At the moment it works because we run against a SNAPSHOT version.
> Just brainstorming, but can the tests be ran without AS7 or can XTS be hot deployed by the tests or should these tests be ran in the AS7 test suite?
