write a test that checks that optional packages are in place and clearly
exposes when this is not the case

Key: DERBY-4808
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-4808
Project: Derby
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Test
Reporter: Myrna van Lunteren
Assignee: Myrna van Lunteren
Priority: Minor
Our junit tests are written in such a way that we avoid false failures because
of absence of optional pieces of software.
This is convenient when developers want to do a 'quick' test run.
However, it's not so good when we think we're running with all optional pieces
in place, but something's (gone) missing; we'll not see it and it may go
unnoticed for a long time. We should get warned about missing pieces when we
want *all* tests to run.
One suggestion was to put some kind of check in the test
org.apache.derbyTesting.junit.EnvTest.
