WAS deployment artifacts

[kito99]

Are there any plans to add the WebSphere deployment artifacts (arquillian-was-remote-8, etc) to the JBoss and Maven Central repositories? From what I can tell, this is the only container missing from the repositories. (The project itself is hosted here, for those who are interested: https://github.com/arquillian/arquillian-container-was).

It depends on WebSphere libraries, so we're currently having license 'complications'..

Ugh...damn licensing .

Can you guys add the fact that it's not in the repo to the docs? It took me a while of searching before I gave up.. and tried to build it. Should I create a JIRA issue for that?

There is a problem, though: the build fails. The master POM depends on version 1.0.0.CR1-SNAPSHOT of Arquillian-core, which doesn't appear to exist (at least in Maven Central). If I change it to 1.0.0.CR6, it fails:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:2.

FWIW, the build is successful with CR1 and CR2 (not snapshots). Of course I'd prefer to use the latest and greatest (still fails with CR3 or higher).

A right, it hasn't been updated in a while.

We stopped exposing the ShrinkWrap Dependencies libs transitivly from Arquillian Core, but they are still defined in arquillian.bom

Adding this to the wls-remote-8/pom.xml should do the trix

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.jboss.shrinkwrap.descriptors</groupId>
    <artifactId>shrinkwrap-descriptors-impl</artifactId>
</dependency>

Please report a jira

Awesome -- that did it. Thanks!
