Integration with Tycho

[apohllo]

It would be nice if TestNG could be used to test with Tycho http://tycho.sonatype.org/ (this project allows for seamless build and testing of Eclipse based projects with Maven).

The integration requires that TestNG allows the same class look-up strategy for PackageUtils as ClassHelper.
The implementation of this issue is available at https://github.com/apohllo/testng/tree/TESTNG-455

Latest version of Tycho adds support for test frameworks other than junit if they provide the implementation of a simple interface (cf http://wiki.eclipse.org/Tycho/Release_Notes/0.16). This should considerably ease the support of testng (if someone step-in to propose a patch so that TestNG implements Tycho's TestFrameworkProvider interface).

I just wanted to ask if there is currently anyone looking into this.

Is the current build of TestNG already usable with tycho-surefire? The patch from @apohllo in #51 should have provided the necessary support, shouldn't it? Or was the problem that tycho has not been patched to allow TestNG to integrate until the TestFrameworkProvider was introduced?

duplicates with testng-team/testng-eclipse#133
can be closed

I don't think this issue is related to #133. #133 is about building the testng eclipse plugin with tycho, whereas this one (as I understand it) is about allowing tycho to use testng as a testing framework (currently tycho only supports junit).

right, i oversaw the original issue, we need reopen it

Closing this out, since its now being tracked under testng-team/testng-eclipse#448
