Hi Jason,
If you have it extending from TestCase then people will use those
methods in writing their tests which would force the dependency even
if unintended.
Could we make this class a decorator? Then many fewer would be likely
to use it as a superclass but instead would import it and use it
simply to decorate their tests.
BTW I'm all for doing this module and I don't want the TestNG vs
JUnit discussion to detract from getting started. Since it requires
JDK 5 it might be worth forgetting TestNG for now and looking to
convert to TestNG after the move the jdk 5 is complete.
TTFN,

I'm all for TestNG... hopefully now the maven reports are all happy
since its now supported by surefire.
But, the TestSupport classes does not need to be JUnit specific,
the same code will work fine in TestNG... and once we switch over
to TNG fully (if or when that is), all we need to do (optionally)
is drop the extends from TestCase and everything else should be fine.

Hi Jason,
Before going too deeply in to the JUnit space what do you think of
using TestNG. I've used it on a couple of applications and found
it very nice to work with. Its yet another reason to move to JDK 5
though so I'm not sure about timing (although you can use it with
JDK 1.4 I've not done that and I don't like annotations in
comments generally).

YAY!!!
Can you make the File ref to ${basedir} work in idea without
setting test properties?
thanks

I'd like to add a new module to our build, geronimo-
testsupport, which provides at the moment a single TestSupport
class which sets up logging and some other commonly used bits
(like the File ref to ${basedir}).
And then incrementally I'd like for all of our test classes to
extend from this instead of junit.framework.TestCase.
Any objections?
