OK. So i have some questions for everyone. We dont have to answer them
now, but perhaps at next week's tech meeting if us Oracle types are not
tied up in planning meetings next week.
1. Given that the tests don't run successfully on 1.5 for some
strange reason, do we want to maintain 1.5 compatibility for the
1.9 branch? I'm currently running a release on a 1.6 VM and
targetting the 1.5 byte code. While this generates (hopefully)
1.5 compliant byte code, it doesn't really catch when we use 1.6
only classes like I did in websockets. If everyone still needs
1.5 compatbility I guess we can hobble along like this. I know we
talked about that a while back but it's still a burr in my saddle
so to speak that we have to jump through hoops like this. If we
stay with 1.5, we need to figure out why the tests crash on a 1.5 VM.
2. Does anyone have any objections to me migrating our tests from
junit to testng? I much prefer testng and we get quite a bit more
control and features for very little effort. This is probably the
least contentious of the two but I wanted to throw that out there.
Thoughts?
