I think there are good reasons, the tests are part of the derby project and it allows people with the download to run the tests in their own environment. I do think the layout is wrong. Currently for the tests we have (from the top level): lib/derbyTesting.jar I think that the testing jars should be separated from the functionality jars, something like: testing/README.html // Simplified instructions on how to run the tests testing/derbyTesting.jar testing/jakarta-oro-2.0.8.jar This would then allow us to ship additional jars (licence permitting) to ease the ability to run tests from a distribution. The split also makes it obvious which are the test jars and which are the real jars. Dan.
