There is some good news on that front Andrea: We do have a maven profile that runs tests, and took some effort last year to make it build (even if that meant turning off about 30% of the tests that fail - a large number around the edit tools you see giving us such trouble).
The trick is that these tests are not being run automatically as we lack a build box. Which is our first order of business once we are on the LocationTech build farm. -- Jody Garnett On Monday, 4 March 2013 at 6:54 PM, Andrea Aime wrote: > On Mon, Mar 4, 2013 at 7:26 AM, andrea antonello <andrea.antone...@gmail.com > (mailto:andrea.antone...@gmail.com)> wrote: > > If the above is not the case, I would really like to know what is > > starting to weaken our layer system. > > I know this is none of my business, but let me venture into a consideration > anyways. > > Regressions caused by new functionality happen.
