First, I would check and test the current code, while doing so write up what it takes to test the provider. This provider is different than some of the other stock provider in the sense that it is harder to test. If you look at the HTTP and FTP providers for example, you will see that the unit tests do a nice job of testing the provider in the build. This is done when the tests embed and manage a server of server of the proper type, such that when the HTTP test suite starts, for example, an HTTP server is also started, then the tests run, and finally the embedded server is shutdown. There are many providers that follow this testing pattern of embedding and managing a server, which is, IMO, the most reliable way to test. We are fortunate to have available many Java FOSS options to choose from to achieve this. For SMB, this might prove trickier, is there such a thing as a FOSS (Java or not) embeddable SMB server? I do not know. If a server cannot be embedded, then developers and the release manager cannot rely of the test suites in the build to verify that the code works. Instead, we need some instructions on setting up and running some tests. Ideally, the tests would be very similar to the existing tests that we have for the other providers: we have a fairly complete test framework that providers can and should extend to test a given provider. As a tangent, note that unfortunately running the unit tests from an IDE often does not work; the tests should be run from the Maven build with "mvn test". Also, the framework is still based on JUnit 3, instead of JUnit 4. So there is a lot to learn and digest! :) Just jump in and get started :) To summarize, look at how other providers are tested with embedded servers and see if you can do the same. Short of that, we need instructions on how to run tests for SMB. And yes, it would be good to use the current version of the underlying library. Library dependencies are declared in the main pom.xml file, so you'll need to learn some basic Maven just to do that and run a build. Good luck! The mailing list would likely be a better place to continue this discussion if need be. JIRA is really just for bug reports and feature requests, not so much discussions.

So you mean that the recent JCIFS need to be added to the library as dependency and relevant changes in the code, right? If you can point me to how that can be achieved I can do that and since I am using this in a product which will undergo extensive testing to it will get tested as well. I need this as soon as possible so can you please point me as to what needs to be done?

It relies on a very old version of JCIF. What the provider needs is an update to the current JCIF or an equivalent FOSS library and good testing instructions such that a release manager can test. > org.apache.commons.vfs2.provider.smb.SmbFileProvider not available in version > 2.x > - > > Key: VFS-473 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VFS-473 > Project: Commons VFS > Issue Type: Bug >Affects Versions: 2.0 > Environment: Windows 7 Professional 64 bit, Java 1.6 >Reporter: Ranajyoti Chakraborti >Priority: Blocker > > org.apache.commons.vfs2.provider.smb.SmbFileProvider not available in version > 2.x.
