The ITest Plugin does not support the binding.ws extension

I am trying to write FVT test cases for WS Bindings. I am trying to run them using the ITest Plugin framework within maven. When the plugin tries to start the tuscany runtime, it throws out the following exception and fails. It seems the binding.ws extension which we use in the scdl file is not supported within the iTest plugin. This is needed in order to make progress with the FVT testcases.
