I am unconvinced that is going to provide much benefit. The client code is likely to be race-prone, and thus difficult to make stable tests for. The fact that we have only one (previously disabled) client test was likely for good reason. OTOH there are many critical routines that would benefit from small scale unit tests that require neither client or server processes... lots of low hanging fruit that would really improve the test suite coverage. > At the moment I'm cleaning up and fixing the build.xml file (creating a new > one for the time being) that will be designed to create packages from > Travis and be deployed automatically so we don't have to do any of that > manually. I am wary of adding travis as a build dependency. I am sure it is very nice, but adding another step in the learning curve needs some justification. Automatic package addition is not particularly convincing. Adding packages is *very* rare.

The SoundPlayer code is not very resilient. Feel free to rework either it or the tests. I would be inclined to just disable sound tests if AudioSystem.getMixerInfo returns no signs of a mixer being present. Cheers, Mike Pope
