[eclipselink-dev] Tests that involve multiple componenets

[Tom Ware <tom.ware@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey Folks,

 At the moment the EclipseLink repository is configured with a project 
for each component and no circular compile dependancies between those 
projects.

 We are starting to be ready to check-in some tests that make use of 
multiple components.  (e.g. A JAXB/JPA test)

 It does not really make sense to check that kind of a test in to 
either the JAXB or the JPA testing projects since neither project should 
depend on the other and the JPA tests should not depend on the JAXB core 
and vice versa.

 I am looking for suggestions about how to set this up.

 The current best suggestion I have is to set up an End-toEnd testing 
component that depends on all other projects that can include any 
end-to-end testing.

What does everyone think?
