Continuum vs build failures

[Julian Reschke <ju...@gmx.de>]

Hi,

I can't help noticing that two out of three projects on 
<http://jackrabbit.zones.apache.org/continuum/servlet/continuum/target/Summary.vm/fid/continuumProject> 
are in status "build error".

With respect to Jackrabbit itself, this is because of a recent code 
change; maybe the test cases that now fail are incorrect, but either 
way, this really should be resolved so that other developers do not have 
to spend time figuring out what's wrong. In doubt, back out the change 
that causes the test case failure until the problem is understood and fixed.

Looking at SPI: I'm not sure whether this is an actual bug, or our 
config for "testcases to be skipped" is still incomplete? Last time we 
had success here was on July 23.

Finally, maybe it would be good if Continuum would send out emails to 
this list when builds break. Jukka, would that be feasible?

Best regards, Julian

It seems that the build started to fail once the test cases have been 
enabled :-)

So I guess we need to decide whether we want the tests to work with JDK 
1.4. If we do, we'll have to fix them so that they work with Xalan's 
serializer as well.

Best regards, Julian

from what i see, the failing tests (4) and the error (1)
are both due to problems with the XML-import (unbound prefix).
if i remember correctly, this is caused by the xalan.jar shipped
with jdk 1.4. has the configuration changed? otherwise i would
expect that the build had never succeeded.
