Since we wrote this post we didn't laze around. Check our latest announcement.

The Arquillian team is proud to announce the 2.0.0-alpha-8 release of the ShrinkWrap Descriptors component!

Highlights in this release

Support for JBossAS/WildFly module.xml

You can now programmatically create module.xml descriptors using the following API:

 ModuleDescriptor module = Descriptors.create(ModuleDescriptor.class)
    .addDefaultNamespaces()
    .name("some.module")
    .slot("impl")

ModuleAliasDescriptor module = Descriptors.create(ModuleAliasDescriptor.class)
    .addDefaultNamespaces()
    .name("some.module")
    .slot("impl")
    .targetName("some.other.module")
    .targetSlot("main");

ModuleAbsentDescriptor module = Descriptors.create(ModuleAbsentDescriptor.class)
    .addDefaultNamespaces()
    .name("some.module")
    .slot("impl");

These descriptors can be found in the shrinkwrap-descriptors-api-jboss module.

Support for JBossAS/WildFly jboss-deployment-structure.xml

And specially configure the deployment structure of your deployment via the jboss-deployment-structure.xml descriptor:

JBossDeploymentStructureDescriptor jbossDeployStructur = create()
    .addDefaultNamespaces()
    .earSubdeploymentsIsolated(false)
    .getOrCreateDeployment()
        .getOrCreateModuleAlias().name("name1").slot("slot1").up()
            .getOrCreateExports().createExclude().path("path1").up().up();

These descriptors can be found in the shrinkwrap-descriptors-api-jboss module.

What is ShrinkWrap Descriptors?

The Shrinkwrap Descriptor project provides an uniformed fluent API for creating and modifying Java EE deployment descriptors on the fly. Starting from the very early JEE 1.3 to the brand new Java EE 7 version, the descriptor project includes almost all official deployment descriptors. Several vendor specific deployment descriptors, mostly JBoss related, are covered as well.
