As you all know we're currently getting organised for M1. At things stand there are several open JIRAs for this work. Most of the changes you are seeing are directly related to the legal/license requirements for releasing, with some others being derived from these changes.
Martin, Rajith & I have been doing the work for the release, but everyone is most welcome (indeed encouraged) to contribute to the leg work on this front - via the JIRAs (and any new ones you think we need). We're hoping to complete the restructuring required for release later today. It's not exciting, but we're getting there. For unrelated changes to the tests that you think a good idea - probably best to raise JIRAs with details and progress them after M1 is complete to minimise flux. Plenty to be done :-) Marnie On 11/10/06, Steve Vinoski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

In general, unit tests, for purposes of isolation, should have as few dependencies as possible, so this arrangement is less than ideal. It's also specifically bad from a maven POV because by default maven builds each subproject's unit tests separately. Such isolation enforcement via standardized project directory structure is another nice feature of maven. The client org.apache.qpid.test.unit.ack.DisconnectAndRedeliverTest class appears to be a big offender in this regard, for example. This is one of the issues that's been giving me fits on the maven branch. Over there, I've been trying to move tests that aren't really unit tests out of the subproject test subdirectories and into a new top- level subproject under qpid/java called systests. The unannounced test reorganizations this week have not helped the maven work, because it means I have to pick up the new structure from the trunk and get it over on the branch, determine yet again which tests are actual unit tests and which aren't, and try again to move everything to where it needs to be. Please don't do any more moves in the trunk like that for now. Rather, if you'd like to help move things around, let's do so on the maven branch, as this issue is really the only blocker remaining to having maven working. thanks, --steve
