Hi Michelle, even though I read http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JDO-557 I'm still not sure, if I understand the scenario correctly, but maybe you can nevertheless make use of this idea: You could write your own class-loader, use this class-loader to load the JDO implementation and the tests, run your test, throw away all the stuff and continue with the next class-loader (and next test that requires this separation). This, of course works only, if basically the whole runtime (including JDO) is started up and shut down by the test framework, but as I understand JDO-557, exactly this is the case there. If the main class-loader (which would probably be the parent of your special one) already contains classes you want to reload, you can either filter these classes out or don't pass any parent at all to your class-loaders (requiring everything to be reloaded). Best regards, Marco :-)
