Agreed that if you always send email everyday whether the tests have
suceeded or not, then there is a greater chance of them being ignored -
I have seen this happening several times at other places - on the other
hand sending an awareness email when some tests have failed makes
it unexpected, hence increase the awareness effect. If someone wants to
check if the state of the nightly & daily runs then one can always
access the URL that points to the information (OLE's report or some
others) _or_ subscribe to another mailing list containing every
single test report successful or not...It is nice indeed to have a
daily tests report email posted to a specific mailing list that
someone can subscribe to whether the tests have passed or not but then
failures should be posted to derby-dev IMHO....Just my 0.02 cents...

It might be useful to look at what other apache projects do.
OJB gump results are automatically sent to [email protected] -- but
only if failures have occurred.
