I’m happy to announce that we have moved the Arquillian Reference Guide out of docbook format in the source tree and over to the new JBoss Documentation Confluence instance.
Arquillian Documentation Editor
The old DocBook version has been imported and with a few fixes in the imported wiki code it all seems ok.
From now on, If you find any errors in the formating or content, you can simply just fix it ~:)
Great news! We’ve drastically cut down the number of dependencies that Maven has to download in order to use the JBoss AS 6 remote container adapter Arquillian. You no longer have to download Hibernate just to connect to a remote or managed (standalone) JBoss AS instance ~:)
To cut to the chase, replace this dependency:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.jboss.jbossas</groupId>
<artifactId>jboss-as-client</artifactId>
<version>6.0.0.Final</version>
<type>pom</type>
</dependency>with this one:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.jboss.jbossas</groupId>
<artifactId>jboss-as-profileservice-client</artifactId>
<version>6.0.0.Final</version>
<type>pom</type>
</dependency>The number of dependencies drops from 318 to just 28! That should save you a heaps of time. Now, Maven doesn’t have download these extra dependenices on the first run, and doesn’t have to resolve the graph on subsequent invocations. You also cut out this unresolved pom warning:
[WARNING] The POM for ws-commons:policy:jar:1.0 is invalid, transitive dependencies (if any) will not be available, enable debug logging for more details
To make a long story short, the JBoss AS team publishes a stack POM (i.e., BOM) to identify all the dependencies used in JBoss AS. The client POM is a little too well linked and ends up depending on JBoss AS itself somewhere down the line. As you can imagine, this pulls in a lot of transitive dependencies.
The profile service client POM is a trimmed down version that grabs only the libraries needed for communicating with a remote (standalone) JBoss AS instance using the DeploymentManager, which is accessed via the ProfileService.
Cut the internet a break and update your POM today ~:)

The Arquillian team is proud to announce the 1.0.0.Alpha2 release of the Graphene component!
Arquillian is open source software that empowers you to test JVM-based applications more effectively. Created to defend the software galaxy from bugs, Arquillian brings your test to the runtime so you can focus on testing your application's behavior rather than managing the runtime. Using Arquillian, you can develop a comprehensive suite of tests from the convenience of your IDE and run them in any IDE, build tool or continuous integration environment.
