Support for custom location and reuse of a Maven project from my resources (original) (raw)

We are currently using this extension for something entirely unrelated to the main goal of this project. We are using it to test executions of our example Maven Projects, with different build properties and user access flavours.

Currently it is not possible to reuse the same example project for multiple standalone test runs.

I know about @MavenProject. However, that is not enough for us, since that is mostly used both for the target and source project. What we need is something like @MavenSourceProject that would point to a folder in my test resource and copy that folder to the @MavenProject or the default location of the target project.

I have already made this work for us by adding a new @MavenSourceProject annotation and we are ready to contribute this to the project in case you are interested in this functionality.
