Thanks Stepan,

1. The decision about other resource files is: they should be stored into
"src/test/resources/" without further naming convention. Right? – then,
a)       Ideally, can we specify further (after src/test/resources/) naming
convention for resource files as it is done for serialization files?
b)       At least, specify that resource file name should contain test name
– for easy resource file search?
c)       Shouldn't we move content of "<trunk>/support/" into corresponding
module's src/test/resources/ directories? – if yes, I can do it.

2. Can we add a link to the
http://incubator.apache.org/harmony/subcomponents/classlibrary/ser_testing.htmldocument
at the testing page?

I want to create a script which checks that tests are stored as it is
described on testing and serialization convention pages.

Thanks,
 Vladimir

Hi Vladimir,

The second mechanismis used in 'security' testing framework (used by
auth/crypto/security/x-net modules). We are agreed to merge two existing
framework for testing serialization. Currently I'm preparing update for
the
'security' framework - it will replace the second mechanism it with the
first.

Agreed. We should work out uniform access to resources. IIRC we agreed to
access *all* resources via classpath.

2) If it's not good idea, then, lets just describe technique of working

see [1] for name conventions for serialization resource files.

Thanks,
Stepan.
