The nice thing about the hacky MavenArtifactResolver is that it reads 
the jars from the classpath, so you can be pretty sure that what is 
being tested are the artifacts that are build built...

I have had problems with the MavenDependencyResolver when used for the 
artifacts that are built in the same run, as they are not yet installed 
when the integration tests are running, so it resolves an old version of 
the SNAPSHOT from the repository... so the test appears to be working, 
but is not in fact valid.

But perhaps I was just using it wrong, so I agree, we have to ask Aslak, 
ALR or Karel about it :)
