If Sun's implementation (you don't say which JDK version!) is failing a test, then that casts serious doubt on the correctness of the mauve testcase itself! The over-arching principle for Mauve testcases is that the behavior of Sun's Java implementations is the "gold standard" for conformance testing. Even if the Sun Java behavior contradicts the javadocs, or is "just plain wrong", it is still technically "correct behavior" from the POV of conformance. [Sun sometimes acknowledges JDK bugs, but then says they won't fix them. because of the risk of breaking existing customer code. In such cases, other Java implementations need to be bug-for-bug compatible in order to minimize cross-platform portability problems for developers and end-users.] -- Steve _______________________________________________ Classpath mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/classpath
