Hi all, The last week or two, derbyall has failed a lot the time. This makes it hard to verify that I haven't goofed up things when doing changes in the code (I run derbyall daily as a quality measure). To be able to work efficiently, many of us are dependent on a reliable test suite.
So, I urge everyone who submits a patch to the Derby to run derbyall on at least one platform/vm and not only the "relevant" tests for the patch, even if you "know" that it should not be necessary. I think this would save us all a lot of work (even more time saved for the committers, I guess :-). I know this won't guarantee that derbyall runs correctly all the time, but the frequency of problems should at least go down.
