[gradebook2-dev] GRBK-1209

[Jon Gorrono]

I've just committed to trunk changes to the root pom and .classpath
which should resolve a couple of annoyances/issues with dev mode:

edu-services version is now 1.2-SNAPSHOT to match the 2.9.x branch....
note that trunk is at 1.3-SNAPSHOT

kernel version is now 1.3.0-SNAPSHOT .. . note that trunk is at 1.4.0-SNAPSHOT

a couple of mock classes have been updated with stubs for some new methods

Another change committed is a is a long overdue revisit to an issue
Jim Eng discovered some time ago regarding dependencies in dev mode on
archive api and impl, namely, that these jars are typically
unavailable in the maven repo since they are placed into the targeted
tomcat container during the sakai:deploy goal, completely bypassing
.m2/repository...

(FYI, The archive impl is used to test archiving capabilities in gb2
without maintaining a bunch of code that mimics the archive service...
we also use this reasoning to simplify a bunch of mock classes in the
'dev' directory branch)

The M2_REPO eclipse classpath variable didn't help get to the jars; so
the problem was 'addressed' by using another classpath variable in
eclipse pointing in the tomcat deployment area which could be extended
to include the jar(s) ... nobody liked it but it was about as creative
as anyone wanted to get at the time

Simple fix is obvious now, or I am freshly ignorant of an reason this
wasn't done before: the archive api, archive impl and the kernel-impl
jars are all just added to the pom

I think I had a bunch of compile time issues doing that before and
gave up... this time, though, I happened to type in the 'optional'
dependency tag for kernel impl and the errors vanished (see GRBK-1209
for deetz)

Hey luck also helps rescue dogs find people so it ain't so bad. :)

Comments and concerns welcome
