[Test] Shall we maintain a individual archive for our classlib unit test?
Like some other famous open source project , i.e. derby,eclipse, they will
release the project as well as a individual jar of their test.
Gnu Classpath even has sub-project called Mauve which consists of many unit
test.
Harmony has so many unit tests that our user can make use of.
Most user will download our binary release rather than checking out the
souce, building and testing.
I guess we can archive a testing.jar for user, so they can test their binary
jre directly without any building.
Within a testing.jar and a build.xml, we can run test through one command:
$> ant -Dtest.jre.dir=${path}/jre
What's more, there are two kinds of test, some are harmony implementation
dependent tests.
And the rest are public api tests.
We can publish the public API tests for other independent implementation.
(Though the candidates are hard to find right now.)
Even RI can use our test if they want.
Any comments? Suggestions?

This would be a really useful feature. I think HARMONY-950 and HARMONY-984
are the relevant JIRAs.

Another vital step that is still outstanding is modifying all tests to
load resources from the classpath so that both tests and resources can
be bundled in a jar. Some tests already do this but I think many still
reference files directly.

The idea is floating around for a while, there are related JIRA
entries with 3-digit ids ;). Surely it worths to be done, all
components (including not only classlib but drlvm and jdktools as
well) have a lot of tests suitable for that.
We just need a framework (either standalone or a part of build system)
- so patches are always welcome :)

Of couse we can.
We have our classlib modularized, so does their test.

Probably a good idea. It should also consider the case that people
developing a module may only care about the tests of that module.
