[math] stupid question about test input files
I am bundling up my RandomData, EmpiricalDistribution and ValueServer
classes for submission and the last two can take file input data. The
test cases need to read from a test data file. Can I assume that this
file will be available to the test cases with no path spec?

Thanks! I will look at the Digester test cases and follow that pattern.

A plain filename with no path will be assumed to exist in the directory
from which the tests are run -- not necessarily a good assumption.
FWIW, I normally deal with this sort of thing by including the test files
in the same package source directory as the test case itself, make sure
they get copied to the output "classes" directory, and use
ClassLoader.getResourceAsStream() to load them. The test cases for
Digester (among others) use that approach.
