Hi Mikhail,
Yes, I think that compiling to separate bin folders would do the trick ;
a bin for stuff that will go on the classpath and a bin for stuff that
will be loaded on the bootclasspath. In order to reach that goal the
test source itself will AFAIK need to be laid out in a similar manner.
That is, the directory tree will look something like the following (may
need to be viewed in wide-screen):
src/test/api/java <--- implementation-independent tests
intended to be loaded by system class loader, compiled to bin
src/test/api/java.injected <--- implementation-independent tests
intended to be loaded by boot class loader, compiled to bin.injected
src/test/impl/java <--- Harmony-specific tests intended to
be loaded by system class loader, compiled to bin
src/test/impl/java.injected <--- Harmony-specific tests intended to
be loaded by boot class loader, compiled to bin.injected
Does that sound reasonable ?
Best regards,
George
