drt - Playback FAILED for test( FormatTags )

[Rotan Hanrahan <Ro...@MobileAware.com>]

[ Developing with NetBeans4 (a beta, but fairly ok for Java 1.5), on WinXP and SuSE 9.1 ]
 
I can build: clean deploy drt
but the drt build has one little error:

     Playback FAILED for test( FormatTags )

which, as you know, is likely caused by locale problems.

I'm building on a machine configured for my locale (English language, Irish environment) and I prefer not to make any global changes because that would break other things I'm working on.

I've isolated NetBeans4 into its own execution environment so that (for example) its JAVA_HOME is JDK1.5.0, and not the 1.4.2 I use normally. Having to further isolate the build environment into a temporary US locale defeats the purpose of the test, so I'll leave it alone. Should I have any further reason to worry if I continue to experiment on Beehive while in a locale it fails on?

And did ModuleConfigLocator have a problem with locale? Or was it just a coincidence that it previously failed at the same time as FormatTags (which *did* have a problem with locale)?

I've attaced the ant build output to this message if anyone is interested (though I'm unsure about how the Apache mailer handles attachments).
