Regarding Madhare

[siddharth srivastava <ak...@gmail.com>]

Hi

While converting madhare to a JUnit test, I was just wondering what does
"madhare" means or the purpose behind this name ?

Would it still be a good idea to name the new test as MadhareTest.java
(considering the fact at this moment I don't know what it means :) ) ?

I think 'madhare' was the project name for one of the early versions
of the dbms 'Cloudscape', Derby's ancestor.
Renaming the test makes sense (although MadhareTest is cute).

Hi Siddharth,

I have a vague memory that the Mad Hare deliverable was an internal 
milestone on the way to producing the first Cloudscape release. I don't 
know why that whimsical name was chosen.
