Description
All Aries itests projects need to generate a dependencies.properties file, so that Pax Exam based tests can properly retrieve versions of artifacts to be used at runtime. Some Aries projects use maven-paxexam-plugin to generate the dependencies.properties file, but most of them use Servicemix depends-maven-plugin. Unfortunately, the version of depends-maven-plugin used in most of Aries projects (1.1) is buggy. The generated dependencies.properties file sometimes contains resolved snashot versions (i.e. 0.2-incubating-20100717.020505-16) instead of the base versions (i.e. 0.2-incubating-SNAPSHOT). This causes Pax Exam tests to fail from time to time with an exception similar to this one:
java.lang.RuntimeException: URL
[mvn:org.apache.aries/org.apache.aries.util/0.2-incubating-20100717.020505-16]
could not be resolved.

This issue has already been fixed in SMX depends-maven-plugin. For details see this SMX revision:
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=770436
and the fix is availble in version 1.2 of the plugin.
Patch coming soon.
