That is correct.  We have a CI at the ASF.  The nightly wasn't intended
to
replace it.  However ...

The specific issue I was recording in this message was the inability to
know what exact test failed (we have only summaries for each test
class).
The entire build log is posted to the build site.  It seems to me that if
you want more detail, just enhance the build.  The nightly process is
just a
shell script that runs the build, generates the e-mail summary, and
uploads
the build artifacts with full log.

Is there something you want that can't be done via the above?
think this failing test has just been getting everyone down :-/

it's been particularly irratating (it now fails about 60% of the time
for) and difficult to diagnose. it seems to be some sort of
serialization race condition but it's beyond me. don't know if you
have any ideas.
If we agree this probably is an issue in JVM/classpath but we don't have
time dealing with SUN for this IMHO we can even add a comment to that test..
e.g: catch the assert failure and add a comment about this whole thing.

if this is a JVM issue then couldn't we just narrow down the known bad versions?

I think we saw it on every platform running very often the tests.

Even if it only happened once in my environment it did. I also saw it on hudson, and you saw it.

AFAIKT it could even be a non fixed issue existing in every Sun jvm. Trying IBM/BEA/ASF JVM could give some more answers (I don't know what we can conclude if they don't give the issue, only what we can guess if they give the same issue).
