Hi,
I recently downloaded the bin release of 10.4.1.3 and ran some tests
on it. I found that derbyTesting.jar was located in $DERBY_HOME/test
and not in $DERBY_HOME/lib which makes me wounder if the patch I
submitted to DERBY-3638 was wrong? Why the inconsistency with the
location of derbyTesting.jar ? Which location is "correct", or have I
misunderstood something?

Hi Svein Erik,
The location of the jar files in the 10.4.1.3 distribution looks right
to me. The lib directory is supposed to hold the product jars, that
is, the jars which we expect people will typically bundle with their
own applications. We don't expect that people will bundle our tests
with their applications, so when we generate a release we put the
tests in a separate location.
I think perhaps Svein Erik is thinking about the fact that when building
your own sane or insane jars, derbyTesting.jar will typically end up in
jars/sane/ or jars/insane/ together with the product jars, but when
downloading the release binaries it is not located with the product jars.
I don't think there is a conflict here, Svein Erik. As Rick explains,
the binary distribution is created that way on purpose. The location of
derbyTesting.jar when building it yourself has a different reasoning I
guess, as when building the code yourself it will normally be for
testing purposes and not deployment.
