Make SeamTest not dependent on TestNG
-------------------------------------

                 Key: JBSEAM-1347
                 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-1347
             Project: JBoss Seam
          Issue Type: Feature Request
    Affects Versions: 1.2.1.GA
            Reporter: Michael Youngstrom
         Assigned To: Michael Youngstrom
             Fix For: 1.3.0.ALPHA


It would be nice if it were possible to use SeamTest in a testing framework other than TestNG.  I'm not proposing Seam provide support for any other testing frameworks I just think it would be nice if developers could have the option create their own way of using the meat of SeamTest in their own way without having to depend upon TestNG.

It would be trivial to move what is currently in SeamTest into an Abstract class (AbstractSeamTest) class and then change SeamTest to extend AbstractSeamTest and specify the testng annotations in that class.  That way people who wish to try and make AbstractSeamTest work in another testing framework they can without still having to depend upon TestNG.

100% backwards compatibility, No documentation changes, just a simple refactor.

I believe this issue has low risk and I would be more than happy to take on this issue if approved.  I would also like this issue to be considered for inclusion in 1.3.0.

If you want a patch before approving it I can provide that too.

Mike
