A simple Derby plugin to use during tests

derby-maven-plugin's Issues

Make derby dependencies "provided"?

Hi

just having a look at this project and it looks exactly like what I need :)

Just one thought, however; in order to support any version of Derby, perhaps the dependencies should be supplied as "provided" scope, and set in the plugin's <dependency> section. This obviously assumes that the API will not change at all, and makes using the plugin slightly more fiddly, but I think it's worthwhile.

Thanks!

Proposal: skip execution on -DskipTest

In most scenarios the execution of derby-maven-plugin becomes pointless when tests are skipped.

In order to skip Derby execution, I can add -Dderby.skip to the arguments and to any profiles that cause skipping of tests.

To simplify this, I would like to change derby-maven-plugin to

• check the UserProperties for skipTests
• check the active configuration of maven-surefire-plugin for <skipTests> elements

and respect any skipping information found therein.

IMHO, this should be active by default. There could be a new option ignoreSkipTest that optionally restores the previous behavior.

@carlspring What do you think of this? Should I go ahead?

Remove the Derby locks once the database has shutdown

This would avoid having to manually remove these, when you need to validate or debug the data after the tests have finished/failed.
