Arquillian Maven Plugin

A Maven plugin with support for start/deploy/undeploy/stop and run operations using the Arquillian Containers.

Operations

• run

  Similar to the famous jetty:run maven plugin. This goal will Setup and Start the Container, Deploy the given Archive, then wait for a JVM shutdown (ctrl+c), for so to UnDeploy and Stop the Container.

  This should work with all types of containers: Embedded, Managed and Remote.

  (note: Remote containers are not actually started, but Archive will be undeployed on shutdown)

• start

  This goal will Setup and Start the Container. The Container is added to the Maven execution context for reuse by other command.

• deploy

  This goal will deploy the given Archive defined by "filename". An Exception is thrown if start has not been called.

• undeploy

  This goal will undeploy the given Archive defined by "filename". An Exception is thrown if start has not been called.

• stop

  This goal stops the Container and cleans up the Maven context.

• deployRemote

  This goal will Setup and Start the Container and Deploy the Archive, for so to Stop the Container.

  (note: This goal only makes sense used with Remote containers)

• undeployRemote

  This goal will Setup and Start the Container and Deploy the Archive, for so to Stop the Container.

  (note: This goal only makes sense used with Remote containers)

Configuration

• target

  Parent directory to where the Archive can be found. Default value is: ${project.build.directory}/

• filename

  The Archive name as found in 'targetDir'. Default value is: ${project.build.finalName}.${project.packaging}

• classloading

  Where the plugin should find the Container libraries.

• • TEST (default)

    Loads the projects Test Scoped ClassPath.
    

• • COMPILE

    Loads the projects Compile Scoped ClassPath.
    

• • PLUGIN

    Only search the ClassPath defined in the plugins dependencies section.

Call the plugin using the following command line:

mvn arquillian:run -Pjetty

The dependencies needed are the same as described in the Reference Guide -> Complete Container Reference.

See the test/ sub module for a complete setup using both Arquillian for testing the module and the Maven module for manual verification.
