Re: [JBoss-user] Deployment and testing

[David J. <dav...@di...>]

If you are running junit tests I recommend using the code from the jboss
testsuite, mostly in JBossTestServices.

If you want to deploy and leave it there, I've written a jmx task for ant
that you can use to call any mbean method, in particular
MainDeployer.deploy.  I asked for advice on where to put it and haven't
gotten any feedback.  I guess I'll put it in 3.1 in with jason's console
module unless I hear any different.
