This is now a real vote for the release of JDO 2 beta.
Here's how to test the jdo 2.0-beta staging release.
1. Download the TCK source release from <above link>
2. Unzip the release into a directory, hereinafter called <dist>.
3. Change to the <dist> directory: cd <dist>
4. The release depends on artifacts that are only available on the staging release area, so you need to edit the maven location from which the artifacts are downloaded. Find the line of maven.xml in the project.properties file with the maven.remote.repo property, and add "
http://people.apache.org/~clr/downloads/maven" to the ibiblio and jpox urls. The JPOX releases might not be available until Sunday evening. Interim, you can manually download the nightly SNAPSHOT build and rename the jar file to the 1.1.0-beta-6 version.
5. Change to the jdo2-tck-2.0-beta directory. This is the working directory for the testing of the release.
6. Open and read the RunRules.html document and perform as many of the steps therein as you like.
7. If you run maven runtck.jdori from the jdo2-tck-2.0-beta directory, you should expect 4 or 5 errors and 4 or 5 failures in 1152 JUnit tests.
Thanks,
