Thanks for all the comments - I know this will be an exciting part of our project ;)
(There were no comments...) Anyway, I checked in into enhanced/buildtest. In trunk, you should be able to : ant setup and have the almost the thing install and ant just kicks it off and runs it. I say "almost" because 1) you need to manually get the IBM J9 VM and install it into cc/projects/classlib/trunk after you manually run 'ant' once to setup the deploy/ directory. In fact, I think we should put the deploy/jdk/jre skeleton in place in SVN for this to make it easier. 2) there's a problem on windows - the full setup fails during the checkout of classlib, even though the 'subtarget' to do the checkout works just fine. I suspect there's some memory problem or such, but I got tired of staring at it. This really is a 'proof of concept' sketch for comment. Immediately, I'd like to set CC sending mail to our lists, and then figure out some way of aggregating the information into a webpage or wiki page. Maybe wiki is going to be easier to start.. geir Geir Magnusson Jr. wrote: > Aside from being distracted by my new macbook pro dual core intel > wonderbox, I was playing with seeding a build/test/ci infrastructure, > and want to solicit comments before I check in something. > > I call this a seed because I know there's a lot of interest in a richer > framework for perf/stabillity/unit testing, code coverage, etc, and the > key is to make it easy for anyone to get, and propose additions to... > > The top-level goal was to have something that anyone can checkout, do > some minor configuration, and get running, so we can have a rich > platform matrix for Harmony testing that's community-based.
