List of bug fixes and enhancements in 0.16.0
New and Noteworthy
New Features
- Support for parallel test execution with JUnit >= 4.7 has been added.
If you use Junit >= 4.7, you can now have test classes or methods executed by several threads in parallel by adding -Dparallel=classes|methods|both on the commandline or by configuring
<plugin> <groupId>org.eclipse.tycho</groupId> <artifactId>tycho-surefire-plugin</artifactId> <version>${tycho-version}</version> <configuration> <parallel>classes|methods|both</parallel> </configuration> </plugin>Executing tests in parallel can be useful e.g. if you have long-running integration tests which are not CPU-bound.
Under the hood, this feature was enabled by porting the junit4.7 surefire provider to Tycho. - Reproducible Version Qualifiers
- A new plugin to validate target platforms. This plugin takes as input one or several target platforms and ensures they can be resolved, fails otherwise
<plugin> <groupId>org.eclipse.tycho.extras</groupId> <artifactId>target-platform-validation-plugin</artifactId> <version>${tychoExtrasVersion}</version> <executions> <execution> <phase>validate</phase> <goals> <goal>validate-target-platform</goal> </goals> <configuration> <targetFiles> <param>indigo.target</param> <param>juno.target</param> </targetFiles> <failOnError>true</failOnError> </configuration> </execution> </executions> </plugin>
Improvements and Fixes
- Providing credentials for a p2 repository specified in a target file is now more convenient – the use of the non-standard id attribute in target files is no longer necessary (
bug 377086). - Access to p2 repository can be redirected to a mirror location. This now works for both target files and repositories specified in the POM (
bug 356016). - tycho-compiler-plugin now has a boolean option requireJREPackageImports which will fail the build if set to true and packages provided by the JDK are not explicitly imported.
This is the design-time equivalent of setting equinox runtime option osgi.compatibility.bootdelegation=false. - Support for test frameworks is extensible now. This means you can add support for test frameworks other than JUnit if you provide an implementation of TestFrameworkProvider.
