The Maven ITBlast Plugin allows you to run your integration tests on multiple application servers in one build using the Cargo and Surefire Maven 2 plugins internally. The motivations for this plugin were to eliminate hundreds of POM XML for integration tests and add a few features like multiple container runs.

Downloads

You can download the jars, source, and javadocs from the Maven 2 repository:
bq. http://twdata-m2-repository.googlecode.com/svn/org/twdata/maven/maven-itblast-plugin/

Example Usage

This example shows how integration tests and unit tests can sit side-by-side by placing integration tests in packages starting with “it.”. It also executes the integration tests against Tomcat 5.x, Jetty 6.x, JBoss 4.2.x, and Resin 3.×. This configuration would be placed in your project’s pom.xml file.

    <build>
    	<plugins>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.twdata.maven</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-itblast-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>0.3</version>
                <executions>
                    <execution>
                        <phase>integration-test</phase>
                        <goals>
                            <goal>execute</goal>
                        </goals>
                        <configuration>
                            <containers>tomcat5x,jetty6x,jboss42x,resin3x</containers>
                        </configuration>
                    </execution>
                </executions>
            </plugin>
            <plugin>
                <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>

                        <exclude>**/*$*</exclude>
                    </excludes>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>
    	</plugins>
    </build>
