Myrna van Lunteren commented on DERBY-4808:
-------------------------------------------
I committed the patch, except for a minor change - I replaced the calls to
org.apache.derby.iapi.reference.Property and used the hardcoded strings.
> write a test that checks that optional packages are in place and clearly
> exposes when this is not the case

> Our junit tests are written in such a way that we avoid false failures
> because of absence of optional pieces of software.
> This is convenient when developers want to do a 'quick' test run.
> However, it's not so good when we think we're running with all optional
> pieces in place, but something's (gone) missing; we'll not see it and it may
> go unnoticed for a long time. We should get warned about missing pieces when
> we want *all* tests to run.
> One suggestion was to put some kind of check in the test
> org.apache.derbyTesting.junit.EnvTest.
