apropos the instructions on online tests at 
http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOT/5.+7+Testing


Trying to make sense of this...

under http://svn.geotools.org/geotools/trunk/gt/build/fixtures/  are 
some sample fixtures.

the online test talks about the user's home directory containing 
fixtures in a directory ".geotools" and if a fixture is not found the 
tests are ignored.

So - my current list of questions is:

1) if the online build is going to run tests, does it automatically load 
from the SVN http://svn.geotools.org/geotools/trunk/gt/build/fixtures/ 
path into the testing environments home directory?

2) the "nogeos" fixture looks fine for me - do I re-use it or clone it 
to create an online test for geometryless?

3) is there a resource naming convention to avoid resource clashes?

4) if other people are running online tests against the same fixture, 
how do we avoid resource contention/corruption?
  - if the resource is left available, and its readonly, then we want 
mvn clean or something to remove it, otherwise the test can create it if 
its missing perhaps?

5) without any fixtures in my home directory, when I run mvn test -P 
online it tries to connect - but seems to hit the local database and 
fail - this seems inconsistent with the write-up "it will skip tests if 
it cant find a fixture" - or does it mean that online tests are run _in 
addition_ to the default set - which makes little sense IMHO.

(And I'll promise to  update the docs as I get understanding of these 
things :-)
)
