I think we should certainly be using Muave for testing. However, that doesn't remove the need for our own unit tests to be testing implementation internals.

Would you like to help us get it working in our build/test framework?

Apologies if I'm (re)opening a can of worms here, but is there some reason why
Harmony isn't collaborating with the existing and extensive Mauve test suite?

I understand the license issues that prevent closer ties between Harmony and
Classpath, even if I find them frustrating. But I don't see that there can
possibly be license issues on a test suite, because individual tests are
independent of each other so there's no reason they all have to share the same
license.

I can't quickly find an explicit statement of Mauve's license on its homepage[1]
sadly.
