Wonderful! We really need to resurrect automated testing and doing it with a Java based approach is attractive for a far wider audience than the older test scripts which were written in Basic. > I propose to do the following tasks next. > 1.

(pls suggest) Both linux 32bit and 64bit should be tested. And maybe we should also test near our baseline and on recent versions. To avoid multiplying the hardware requirements for the Linux builds we could e.g. test RHEL5 as baseline, a recent Suse as 64bit and a recent LTS Ubuntu as 32bit. Speaking of baseline vs. recent platforms I think we should once in a while run automated tests on our MacOSX baseline (10.4 as of now). > 3. Continue to clean up the UNO API testing.
