Incubator NetBeans Build Test Cases Failures

[Arunava Sinha <ar...@oracle.com>]

Hi,

I was looking into failing Test Cases of Incubator NetBeans build . Most 
of the test cases failures are due to dependency on resources which were 
deleted during Apache Code Donation as they were violating licensing terms.

link:
https://builds.apache.org/job/incubator-netbeans-linux/lastCompletedBuild/testReport/

We can follow either of the below two approaches for those test cases.

1. Delete the Test Cases
2. Instead of deleting it comment it out so that if someone wants to use 
them in future then can do so.

Please suggest which approach we should follow.

Regards,
Arunava Sinha

I think option 2 would be the better option. And if the resources can
be recreated without to much work, fixing the test would be optimal :-)

Hi Arunava,

Great that you're looking into this.

From my point of view, I'd prefer option 2 -- for exactly the reason you
mention: if we keep them, someone can use them in the future.

Really looking forward to seeing the tests succeed -- excluding those that
fail, because of the reason you state above, i.e., resources removed as
part of the donation, would be a big step forward.

Other comments on this point from others welcome.
