Hi,

I was running o.a.f.intermediate.IFParserTestCase in Eclipse, and
found it extremely frustrating that the schema (xml.xsd) had to be in
the same folder as the test class?!?! Why? It means, if I want to run
said test with the Eclipse Junit Runner, I have to copy it into the
proper directory, manually. In related news, when I run "ant junit",
it chokes every time for a minute on checking the cached xsd file. I
mean, it's obviously not the end of the world, but it is annoying and
I'm questioning if it's necessary?

Gump fails, periodically because of this same issue, which is annoying
at best, and quite dangerous since false positives on a CI server... I
don't need to preach to the choir here. Can we not assume that the
normal W3C software license [1] applies here? If not, their document
license [2]? If so, as per the Apache legal recommendations [3], we're
thumbs up for distributing this file (with the notice). If either of
those assumptions aren't valid, I'd be happy to ask the Apache legal
team, they can at least resolve the ambiguity about the license.

Just wanted to know your thoughts? This has been bugging me for a while...

Mehdi
