Use marathon ant and maven

Running marathon from an ant task is easy. To setup the classpath however is a pain. Marathon can either run in test or gui mode. Gui is used when you develop a test.

Start with installing the actual marathon application.

Create a pom with the artifact that contains the gui application. This is just so that the pom version is updated by a release.

Finally use this ant file to run marathon:
-------------------------------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0"?>

<project name="main" basedir="." xmlns:artifact="antlib:org.apache.maven.artifact.ant">


<property name="m2_loc_repo" value="${user.home}/.m2/repository"/>

<!-- has its own pom so that we the version will change with the maven releases -->
<artifact:dependencies pathId="aqva_client.classpathId">
<pom file="pom.xml"/>
<localRepository path="${m2_loc_repo}"/>
</artifact:dependencies>

<taskdef resource="net/sf/antcontrib/antlib.xml"/>

<property file="aqva_marathon.properties"/>
<fail unless="marathon.home">
You need to add a file called aqva_marathon.properties with the following properties:

marathon.home (required): path to marathon downloaded from here http://www.marathontesting.com
aqva_url (optional): url to aqva server, default: http://localhost:8080/Aqva/
aqva_user (optional): user aqva server, default: roger
aqva_pwd (optional): password aqva server, default: helly
</fail>
