Testing maven assembly result

Question

I have a maven multi module project where two modules of mine should be assembled through the maven plugin for deployment on top of a container.

Let's say my hierarchy is the following

module1
module2
testmodule

I have a test case inside the test module which should retrieve the module1 and module2 assembled jars and try to deploy them on top of a container. Is it possible to do it programmatically, i.e. to walk the maven project through its API and retrieve the filenames of the assembled jars from the project?

How are you willing to do the deployment of the artifacts to the container? — khmarbaise, Feb 01 '13 at 20:47

It is possible because mvn simply calls a Maven startup class but a cleaner way would be to write a plugin that executes as part of the install lifecycle that does the test. That way your "test" of the assembly itself is just an element of the build setup.

Code for calling maven is in Jenkins/Hudson. You can look at the source of those. – Καrτhικ Feb 01 '13 at 20:23
