I wanted to share some problems I've been having with running the PLR
tests and the solutions I found, in case others can benefit.

I was trying to run the tests in both Eclipse and at the command line,
and neither worked.

Problem 1: in Eclipse

Result: The result is a stack trace within Eclipse in the junit view
which relates to pedraw:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/telstech/pedraw/WDPanel
at java.lang.Class.getDeclaredMethods0(Native Method)
at java.lang.Class.privateGetDeclaredMethods(Class.java:2365)
at java.lang.Class.getMethod0(Class.java:2611)
at java.lang.Class.getMethod(Class.java:1579)
at sun.reflect.misc.MethodUtil.getMethod(MethodUtil.java:55)
...
- note that this stack trace was different depending on the test, but
was a NoClassDefFoundError in all case.

Solution:
Established that - there was a problem with the "build classpath
order" which was causing the problems within eclipse.
I had moved sail-core above Maven2 dependencies in the build order so
that I could see "cause and effect" - ie. changes in sail-core would
impact Pas Learner Runtime.
However, this causes the tests to fail as the classes are not found.

Problem 2: at the command line using mvn test

Result: Tests run: 0, Failures: 0, Errors: 0, Skipped: 0, Time
elapsed: 0.006 sec
- so zero tests were being run (not very useful)
I believe that this was because the Junit4 annotations ie. @Test were
being used in some test files. These were the tests that did not run.

Solution: Yesterday I updated my version of Maven on my laptop to
2.0.6 - to solve another problem we were having with the pas portal
and coincidentally this seems to have solved the problem of the tests
not running.

I hope that this info will be useful to others.
