[seam-dev] Seam 3.1 beta release, take two

[Marek Schmidt]

Hi Shane,

I have managed to run (more or less, with 1 failure and 4 errors) the 
new Solder testsuite on AS7 (the jbossas-managed-7 profile)

with the following changes:

1. removing the <forkMode>always</forkMode> from 
testsuite/internals/jbossas/pom.xml as it breaks the MavenArtifactResolver.

The other option for this issue is to hack the MavenArtifactResolver to 
deal with the way surefirebooter works with forking, see the commented 
out parts in MavenArtifactResolver.java in

https://github.com/maschmid/solder/compare/develop...testsuitecleanup

2. add the "Dependencies: org.jboss.logging,org.jboss.logmanager" to the 
seam-logger jar manifest, as no solder test archive gets deployed on AS7 
without it.

3. Upgrade arquillian.version and arquillian.jboss7.version to 
1.0.0.CR4, as I get

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: 
org/jboss/arquillian/container/spi/client/protocol/metadata/JMXContext

exception with CR1 for some strange reason.



(org.jboss.seam.solder.test.el.ElTest and 
org.jboss.seam.solder.test.resourceLoader.ResourceLoaderTest are broken 
because the "targetContainerAdapterClass" hack doesn't work anymore.


Cheers,

Marek Schmidt
