Kathey Marsden commented on DERBY-4997:
---------------------------------------
I have been looking at this test derbynet.SysinfoTest and it seems to me its
focus is to make sure the network server properties derby.drda.* print.
It does this by replacing everything else with empty strings in the sed()
method. I am thinking that we should just have the test check for the things
it is looking for and not fail for additional lines as it often does as new
things are added or if jvm's have multiline version output.
One thing to note is that while the output checks for this test focus on
network server, this is the only test that we actually have for Sysinfo,
So it might be nice to expand it at some point to check the other things that
sysinfo outputs. As another aside I am seeing permission errors in the sysinfo
output for java.home, user.name and user.home. I thought this was addressed at
one point, but will file an issue if needed.

> Myrna suggests checking for and filtering out the exact properties we expect
