How to create integration test for a mojo that provides a custom packaging

Question

I've created a mojo using maven 3.2.2 that provides a custom packaging. This custom package triggers the generation of a custom compacted file. I would like to create a functional test for it and given a project with a pom to verify if the file was generated.

which tool should I use ? pointing me to a code example would be great !

I would suggest to go via maven-invoker-plugin which supports such scenarios. Real examples can be found in many Maven plugins for example

thanks Karl. I was able to create a simple test and a script for my plugin. But it is failing because the configuration pojo is not being injected. do I need to do any setup in order to have a @parameter with an alias injected? — Cristiano, Aug 01 '14 at 12:52
