OK... didn't see this. Will check it out. The test framework is so

Can you set multiple targets? It would be good to make the Turbine
logging mechanism Avalon aware... need to catch up here. Avalon is
starting to get more (well deserved) attention.

Yes... I want to start requireing more UnitTesting with Jetspeed. My
opinion is that it isn't hard... people usually write test code in
development mode anyway.
