Upgrade test can be run using RunTest: java
org.apache.derbyTesting.functionTests.harness.RunTest
upgradeTests/Upgrade_10_1_10_2.java

If the test is run on the same machine used for build, the 10.1 jars
checked into svn will be used.

Yes.

Thanks for catching this. The change to BUILDING.txt is included in my
patch3 diff file but somehow this was missed in the patch commit:
+ - Optional - derbyTesting.jar.path
+
+ This property is required to run upgrade tests. Set this property
+ to point to the location of jar files from a previous release from
+ which we need to test upgrade. This property needs to be set only if
+ the source files will not be available when running tests. In this case,
+ the jars can be copied to any location with the following relative path
+ ${jar_location}/{majorversion.minorversion}. The property should be set
+ as follows:
+
+ derbyTesting.jar.path=${jar_location}
+
+ If the test is run on the machine where the svn source files
are available,
+ it is not required to set this property. The jars checked into
svn will be used.
+
Can someone please commit this missed change in derby-514-patch3-v2.diff?
> 5) Are the Upgrade tests now part of derbyall?
Not yet. I have been caught up in something else and have not been
able to get to this and Andrew's comments.
Thanks,
