API for configuration information in Derby's JUnit tests should through 
instance methods of the base classes, not static methods and static fields

                 Key: DERBY-1555
                 URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-1555
             Project: Derby
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Test
            Reporter: Daniel John Debrunner
         Assigned To: Daniel John Debrunner


The heavy use of static state information in the existing Derby (non-Junit) 
harness was a major mistake, it should not be repeated in the Junit model.
It should be changed before too many tests are written.

A static configuration will limit the ability for the tests to be flexible and 
have different instances running with different configurations,
a instance based scheme will be more flexible.

This change will just change the api, the current implementation of  a single 
static configuration will remain but be hidden within the base-classes.
