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.

Thanks Rick and Vemund for explaining it to me.
I guess the example in trunk/java/testing/Readme.htm is intended for
developers of Apache Derby. Which makes my patch correct. :-)
