Indeed. I found the commons-collections tests to be particularly helpful and httpclient tests exposed a regex bug just last week when I tried the recent release on our milestone candidates. > > These are relatively small codebases, so it should be a lot easier to > > debug any failures. > > Hi, > > That's good suggestions, let's discuss the modules selection openly > according to the application requirements. > A silly question, as I haven't touched Commons yet, what is the > advantage in Commons Lang, Math, IO/Net than J2SE components? As Tim says, I think Sebb was suggesting looking at the building blocks of major projects and running their tests as a way to reach your goal of running real applications. For instance, looking at: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/hadoop/common/trunk/ivy.xml I see that hadoop has pre-reqs for various use cases on[0]: commons-logging lucene commons-httpclient commons-cli commons-codec commons-net tomcat commons-el mina ftpserver commons-lang commons-collections etc. Rather than jumping straight to hadoop testing, it would be sensible to try the tests from the pre-req projects first[1]. Problems found with these tests would likely be easier to track down and fix than problems in a large application. Regards, Mark. [0] I've probably missed some of the Apache projects and no doubt some of the non-apache projects have great tests too. [1] Of course, if your goal is just Hadoop you'll undoubtedly find/fix bugs that are out-of-scope for Hadoop successfully running but I don't think running Hadoop is our only goal for Select.
