Selectable Strategy

[auriium]

Allow user to explicitly select a strategy to use via maven plugin OR via code

[A248]

Why not offer an API alongside a maven plugin? You can make the maven plugin in a different artifact and have the maven plugin use the API.

That's exactly what i'm doing! It works pretty well i simply haven't added support for explicit strategies yet. @A248 Check out the api branch (master branch is outdated and silly. The plugin is simply a tickbox-api dependent in the rewrite branch)

[auriium]

What i mean by that is currently the api itself is useable, but not

a. Well documented enough to be used
b. Flexible enough to be used
c. Easily understandable to be used

Which is why as a result the plugin is the only ""real"" strategy we can use to offer startup support in the environment we are expecting. Sure, you can open a TickFactory in each of your junit tests, but it's currently not ergonomic enough for that to be viable.
