[tycho-user] Running tests from another build

[Amrita Prabhakaran <amrita.prabhakaran@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear List,

I am trying to setup a tycho build to run a set of Junit plugin tests that have already been built into a jar.

What I have done so far is create a target file that contains the JUnit plugin tests jars and all related dependencies.

Created another module with the following entry

...

<build>

<plugin>

<groupId>org.eclipse.tycho</groupId>

<artifactId>tycho-surefire-plugin</artifactId>

<version>0.19.0</version>

<configuration>

<testSuite>com.testsuite</testSuite>

<testClass>com.testsuite.WorkingTestSuite</testClass>

</configuration>

</plugin>

</build>

where class com.testsuite.WorkingTestSuite is present in a plugin in the target file defined.

When I run mvn install , I get a success message and all modules have passed, but I do not see any information related to surefire in the log so I assume that the surefire plugin did not run at all.

Could someone give me some pointers on if what I am trying to do is possible? and if my approach is correct?
