Alan,

There's a clover target in maven that used to work. Please help us by
running that to identify holes in our test coverage.

thanks,
dims

I for one didn't run that for some time, did you?

So what I suggest is to keep the default behavior as is and if some one
knows what he is doing then he needs to put the flag , Ruchith put
,explicitly.

See, we can not afford to break anything at this moment. I encounter
couple of bugs which happens to happen again-and-again. I fixed it all
the time but some one breaks it again. The reason is lack of tests.
Every test in integration module or any other module makes sure
particular features are working properly.

I prefer adding more tests than removing it. Yes it is pain when you do
a build, but it is for the betterment of long term stability of Axis2.
Please use the proper flags sensibly.


  Eran is absolutely right.

 When I fixed some bugs in UnsignedLong, I was amazed to find that none of the 
test cases covered the upper half of the number space! (I added one.) Those are 
the bit patterns that a primitive long would consider to be negative, but an 
UnsignedLong would be required to interpret as large positive numbers. In other 
words, the most important test cases for the UnsignedLong class were missing.

 If this is representative of test coverage in Axis2, then we have a problem. 
If anything, more testing is required.
