Major Description
From email thread :
[After ant clean] the target "compile-test" of lib-regex-filter which fails.
Should it be really called for target "runtime"?
<target name="deps-jar">
<ant target="jar" inheritall="false" dir="../lib-regex-filter"/>
<ant target="compile-test" inheritall="false" dir="../lib-regex-filter"/>
</target>
This is the source of the problem indeed, the second line should not be there : the test classes are not required at that stage. Both urlfilter-automaton and urlfilter-regex have the same problem, which was not apparent until I introduced a cleaner separation between the compilation and test deps.
I've fixed that for trunk in revision 1611303.
------------------------------------------------
This revealed another hidden issue which is that the test classes for the dependency plugins (e.g. lib-regex-filter) are not compiled anymore in the deps-jar step and we can't refer to them in the classpath.
There actually is a task deps-test which gets overriden by the plugins but this is not used by compile-test and despite its name has nothing to do with the tests but with the deployment of the dependency plugins.
The best approach is to add a new overridable tasks for the plugins 'deps-test-compile' and trigger the compilation of the test classes for the dep plugins from there.
