I've been working on icedtea today. The notes DJ used seem to build fine, but there are a lot of errors in the tests. I'm going through the build a second time. The first time I tested via ssh and a lot of the tests were just timing out so I aborted and started over.
The second time I was in an xfce session and set: xset s off xset dpms 0 0 0 to keep the screen blanker from kicking in. What I've noticed is that the reason the tests take so long is that many time out. If a test is going to pass, it seems to do it fairly quickly, but there are a lot of failures where the system is just sleeping. The load factors run down to very small values. I'm still going through the tests for a second time and these are the failures so far: FAILED: com/sun/awt/SecurityWarning/GetSizeShouldNotReturnZero.java FAILED: com/sun/awt/Translucency/WindowOpacity.java FAILED: com/sun/jdi/connect/spi/DebugUsingCustomConnector.java FAILED: com/sun/jdi/redefine/RedefineTest.java FAILED: com/sun/jdi/redefineMethod/RedefineTest.java FAILED: com/sun/jdi/sde/FilterMangleTest.java FAILED: com/sun/jdi/sde/MangleStepTest.java FAILED: com/sun/jdi/sde/MangleTest.java FAILED: com/sun/jdi/sde/SourceDebugExtensionTest.java FAILED: com/sun/jdi/sde/TemperatureTableTest.java FAILED: com/sun/jdi/AccessSpecifierTest.java FAILED: com/sun/jdi/AfterThreadDeathTest.java Right now the load factor is down to 0.26. A lot of the failures seem to have something to do with threads/events. The second time through the build/test not going through ssh seems to have a lot fewer errors but I've probably still got a couple of hours to go. I'll give a final result tomorrow. ------------ The failures do have a log, For instance the FilterMangleTest.jtr is the 'Java Test Report'. It tells me the following, but I don't know how to interpret it. -- Bruce Execution failed: `main' threw exception: java.lang.NullPointerException ...
