I agree with your idea but haven't had time to implement any ;) > Is there a place (document, thread) that describes how unit testing is > achieved in the Avalon suite ? Theres a basic JUnit testcase in excalibur ...

It will also allow you to overide certain methods if you want to return mock objects instead. IIRC you overide Foo createFoo() to overide the Foo stage (where foo may be logger, ComponentManager, COntext etc). And thus could return mock objects there. You would then need to add some test cases to check whatever you are testing. > It > would seem very well adapted to write unit tests for components.
