Description

Hello,

I'm trying to perform a couple of integration tests using PaxExam. Following the documentation, I found the @Configuration and @Probe annotated methods a bit complicated, hence I would prefer to run my integration tests against the current running karaf instance, which already contains all the bundles and features, instead of starting another Karaf instance and dealing with the deployment of all the required artifacts. Is that possible ? After all, these are integrated tests, not unit ones and, accordingly, they don't have to be ran in isolation.

Many thanks in advance for any help.

Kind regards,

Nicolas DUMINIL
