Thanks Jonathan,

Have you tried the jtreg tests on Window's?

Cheers,

Peter.

Building River on Windows (XP) and running the QA tests works fine ... No
new ground is being broken there.

There are a couple things to watch out for, though:
1. make sure the JDK you are using is installed in a path without spaces
(e.g. C:\Java)
2. make sure you checkout River in a path without spaces (e.g.
C:\Projects\River)
3. make sure the Ant you are using is using the JDK from (1) -> you can run
"ant diagnostics" in the project directory to find out
4. when using an IDE to build, make sure this IDE runs on the JDK from (1) -
you can configure this for Netbeans in <netbeans_home>/etc/netbeans.conf -
and the Ant from (3)

Especially running the QA test suite will not work when the above is not
taken into account.

But if it is, you'll see:

Just a lack of time, I've made some attempts to set up a dev environment on
Window's Vista, but ran into some problems getting it set up right.

We've considered making a separate release of the qa tests, this would
assist by checking binary compatibility is maintained, eg method signatures
etc.


Cheers,

Peter.

I'm a little concerned about the implications of my difficulties running
the River jtreg tests in a WindowsXP environment. I seem to be breaking new
ground, but I feel a full test on at least one of the MS-Windows operating
systems should be part of the release process, to guard against e.g.
dependence on a single rooted file system getting built in to River.

Is there some reason against doing so, or just a lack of resources?
