Hi,

I update the build.xml having set fork="yes for the test target.

Maybe, but as "build docs" is the main usage of the CommandlineContext 
and it has worked before except of the Resolver, I think no more opened 
bugs are solved by this modification.
btw, how, and when should we close the BUG 5060?

Yes, of course for me on Win.

I hope the xml-parser is taking care of that.
But in the test-case there is no parser reading the resolved entitiy. 
The testcase asks ResolverImpl directly to resolve the entity 
"ISOnum.pen". Hence the testcase has to close the streams of the 
InputSource.

In principal I see several possibilities using the test-cases:
1) Help communicating between users, and developers. Sending the log of 
 a test case, will help to understand problems better, and understanding 
the technical reason of the problem.
(This way the problem of fork="yes" was resolved.)
2) Testcases should help to assert that Cocoon develops further in a 
stable way.
3) As a pre-deployment task, before a Cocoon version is deployed into 
its environment (Servlet, Commandline)
you can check, if this version is okay.
4) A limitation is perhaps that it should/may not require a certain 
environment. Thus running for example JSPGenerator test cases might be 
not possible without a servlet-environment. But perhaps anteater might 
help in that respect.
5) Adding a <junitreport> in the build.xml will even allow to see 
html-format test-results.
6) Currently I'm not 100% satisified that all the log information is 
displayed on System.out, this requires changing the ExcaliburTestCase (i 
think).

The only "trouble" is writing, and maintaining  the testcases takes a 
bit time...

bye bernhard
