+10.3.1.4_test is a branch based upon the 10.3.1.4 code
+(10.3 branch, revision 561794).
+
+This is to allow modification of and building derbyTesting.jar in
+order to run the 10.3.1.4 junit tests against later 10.3 releases.
+This allows testing of the backwards compatability by having
+the 10.3.1.4 tests mimic an users application.
+Changes are only made in this branch to testing code.
+Such changes are to allow error free test runs when Derby's
+behaviour has changed in an acceptable manor.
+Examples might be:
+ - the expected SQL state thrown by a statement
+ - fixes for test failures for tests not passing at the original revision
+ - Removal of/changes to bug workarounds in the tests
+
+Ideally changes would be 'svn merge'd in from testing changes
+in the 10.3 branch. Changes should be resticted to java/testing
+or other testing related files.
+
+General idea is to build the jars with this codeline and then
+run the junit tests with derbyTesting.jar from this codeline
+and all the other jars from the later version or release candidate.
+
+The tests can be run by running suites.All or through the junit targets.
+
+Junit tests in theory should be easier to run against newer versions
+as they do not rely on diff'ing output.
