JTest [was Re: [PATCH] MethodMap fixed!]

[Christoph Reck <Ch...@dlr.de>]

With a clean Vel snapshot the testsuite runs.

When I compile my classes outside of ant (with JBuilder
using the same JDK) into ../bin/classes I get the JTest error:
  Could not invoke the suite() method

When I delete the ../bin/classes (to rely only on 
the vel.jar) I get a message:
  Suite class "org.apache.velocity.test.TemplateTestCase" not found
even though it is in the jar.

This is a real strange behaviour.

So the only way to go is to make changes in src/java/org/...
and then make a new `build-velocity.sh jar test`. This implies 
that I will be having three different sets of classes: the jar
file, the JBuilder compiled ones and the ant compiled ones :.(

Currently I was keeping my changes in bin/src/org/... to provide
the diffs of my patches, but the build overwrites them with
the originals from src/java/org/... The workaround is to keep
a copy of the original somewhere else until I got our Admins
to open the CVS port (and IRC) - damn bureaucracy.
