| [eclipselink-dev] Using JUnit4 and Ant in EclipseLink ... |
|
As part of the work to merge DBWS code into EclipseLink, some IPzilla
CQ's (specifically https://dev.eclipse.org/ipzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1768 and 1755) were create to enable the use of the pb4 custom JUnit4 Runner and Ant task. Not only are there DBWS tests that require this capability, but also new core feature tests for supporting non-JDBC arguments to StoredProcedures. This is the first time in EclipseLink that multiple components required some utility or library. To deal with this, I propose a new 'common' project - the directory structure would be as follows: ${eclipselink-svn-directory-root} +---branches \---trunk | about.txt | ... | (new) +---common - | \---eclipselink.common - | | | .classpath - | | | .project - | | | - | | +---lib - | | | ant.jar (CQ 1768) - | | | junit4-ext-pb4.jar (CQ 1755) - | | | ${other_commonly_used}.jar (future CQ) - | | \---pb4 (new) | | \--- ... (old) +---dbws | +---eclipselink.dbws | | | .classpath | | | .project | | | | | \---src | | \---org | | \---eclipse | | \---persistence | | +---dbws | | | ... | ... (old) +---foundation | +---eclipselink.core | | | .classpath | | | .project | | | | | \---src | | \--- ... From a developer's view inside of an Eclipse IDE environment, the main projects (such as eclipselink.dbws, eclipselink.core and eclipselink.moxy) depend apriori upon eclipselink.common. The other change will be relying upon version 4 of the JUnit library - this should not affect any code as the old JUnit 3.8.x APIs are preserved in JUnit4. --
