Jason,
   The test failures in the security module are documented here - 
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-1672
 The Connector15DCBTest failures is new. These tests used to pass in
the old trunk. There is no MailCapTest in rev. 418907. The
PluginInstallerTest is a new test added in 1.1 and needs help.

Thanks
Anita
