gApp JSF Web-Application

2.1.0 - 20-Feb-2019

Info

This generator release contains several changes and improvements. But it should not break any existing, manually written code. Only APPJSF-283 might lead to manual re-work on your side, if you have explicitely modeled tests.

Bug Description Effects on generated Files
APPJSF-283 Naming of generated Test Classes for explicitely modeled Tests do not follow Maven Naming Conventions all test classes now have an IT at the end of the file name, e.g. Login5TimesWrongIT.java

BREAKING CHANGE for test code!!!
Move manually written code to the newly generated files and remove the previously generated ones from your version control system. Use the regular expression DA-START.*\R(?!.*DA-ELSE.*) to find test classes that contain manually modified code.
