Konrad Windszus commented on SLING-7298:
----------------------------------------

bq. the issue is in Oak and not in Pax Exam (Pax Exam has disclosed several=
 issues in the past) =E2=80=93 and the issue has to be fixed in Oak anyway
Maybe, but the issue is not visible when running the IT in the context of S=
ling 9 Launchpad. That is all I care about right now in the context of the =
validation IT.

bq. Removing the test framework to hide an issue is not very clever. Settin=
g up Sling Launchpad right for testing seems to be quite tricky, right?
Leaving out the cleverness factor which seems to be quite a pretty personal=
 view, setting up Sling Launchpad for an IT is IMHO a lot easier than relyi=
ng on Pax-Exam. I am just reusing the provisioning model being provided by =
Sling anyhow. I just deploy on top of that the latest version of my own bun=
dle and I am done. Also starting the according server with {{slingstart-mav=
en-plugin}} is a configuration in the pom.xml only (in contrast to relying =
on a lot of glue code for pax exam).

> Due to issues with pax-exam with the newest Oak 1.6.0 (described in https=
://www.mail-archive.com/dev@sling.apache.org/msg72805.html) and also becaus=
e leveraging pax-exam with Sling is complex (to get all necessary dependenc=
ies right) I propose to use the {{slingstart-maven-plugin}} together with a=
 custom Sling Launchpad instead. The according model is derived from the de=
fault Sling 9 launchpad and only two additional bundles are added there.
> In addition the deprecated {{testing.tools}} dependency should be removed=
.
