Hi, while looking into the failing unit tests I started to wonder whether TestMinimalLockUnlocks in RollingFileAppenderTest has ever passed - and if it actually can.
The test uses a RollingFileAppender with AppendToFile=false and a MinimalLock locking model. Since the MinimalLockingModel re-opens the file for each message it is going to overwrite the existing file - this is what the code does and why the test fails. As I've never used MinimalLock myself I don't know whether it is supposed for the append=false case at all - at least the docs don't say it wouldn't work. Stefan
