JUnit also supports parallelizing tasks, but its only in the very latest release. I'd check out that. There are generally more issues than just firing off multiple tests at once.

------------------------------------------

{quote} Do you mean that you would implement your own task? In
which module would you put this custom ant task? {quote}

Yes, seems creating a custom task should work? In contrib/ant?
Last time I tried to use Maven I couldn't get it to work (was
running into a bug) so my knowledge isn't very good. We're using
ant and ivy for our webapp dev. I don't know what Lucene's
position is on Maven, but am interested pursuing whatever makes
sense.

Parallelize Tests

                Key: LUCENE-1709
                URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1709
            Project: Lucene - Java
         Issue Type: Improvement
         Components: Index
   Affects Versions: 2.4.1
           Reporter: Jason Rutherglen
            Fix For: 3.0

  Original Estimate: 48h
 Remaining Estimate: 48h

The Lucene tests can be parallelized to make for a faster testing system. This task from ANT can be used: http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTasks/parallel.html

Notes from Mike M.:

I'd love to see a clean solution here (the tests are embarrassingly
parallelizable, and we all have machines with good concurrency these
days)... I have a rather hacked up solution now, that uses
"-Dtestpackage=XXX" to split the tests up.
Ideally I would be able to say "use N threads" and it'd do the right
thing... like the -j flag to make.
