[Axis 1.4] Errors occur when running all-tests build target

[Bjorn Townsend <bj...@sourcelabs.com>]

Hello all,

I'm trying to build Axis 1.4 from the SVN source at:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/webservices/axis/branches/AXIS_1_4_FINAL

And when I run the all-tests ant target, I get the following errors  
in tests.utils.PackageTests:
(snipped from TEST-test.utils.PackageTests.xml)

So it looks like two tests terminate due to errors. I was wondering  
if this is expected or if I might have a problem with my build  
environment. Has anyone else seen this?

Thanks,
