> It seems to me that for including a new JUnit test into i.e derby-all we need to make a new java class with a main() method, which parses a command line and set up the testsuite and run it, just like any java program. Basically we are running the junit tests as test type "java".
> Instead of having to do this for every junit test going into a derby test suite, I would propose a different strategy.
> I propose to introduce a new test type called "junit" (current test types are: sql,sql2,unit,java,multi,demo - unit is not junit)
> Then you can use:
> java org.apache.derbyTesting.functionTests.harness.RunTest <TestCaseClassName>.junit
> to run a Junit test - instead of:
> java org.apache.derbyTesting.functionTests.harness.RunTest <AnotherClassWithMainMethod>.java
> When starting a test of type junit, the RunTest class may simply use the
> junit.textui.TestRunner class, which has a main method which takes a TestCase class name as parameter.  The junit.textui.TestRunner  runs the tests defined by the suite() method of the TestCase class.
> I think this strategy will make it easier to integrate new JUnit tests into the current test suites, since it save you the trouble of creating a java class with a main method for every test.
