Thanks Mark, this example helps a lot. I have one further question, taking the 
following Derby example:
----
The portion of the functionTests under 'nist' was originally
developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST),
an agency of the United States Department of Commerce, and adapted by
International Business Machines Corporation in accordance with the NIST
Software Acknowledgment and Redistribution document at
http://www.itl.nist.gov/div897/ctg/sql_form.htm
-----
When you put it in the Geronimo context, this is unclear where the above 
mentioned "functionTests" is used, does it matter? When you look at the meta 
NOTICE file, the provenance of Geronimo depends on Derby and Derby bundles some 
software which has functionTests is lost. Just want to make sure, if this is 
intended. 

Thanks,
Suresh
