Maybe my intervention is related. I tried building the ftpserver project using
maven 2.0.8 (mvn install) but unfortunately it fails, the unit tests fail. Did
anyone had the same failure? It's pretty annoying.
Depends. We don't even know which kind of failures you get ;)
Also, how mature is the project? Can I start using this in a commercial
application or is it still too unreliable? (From the unit tests, I would
believe it is not ready yet...)
Considering that we don't advertize the server at all on the MINA site,
I would say it's pretty not ready for production. But it's up to you !
Nobody from apache will ever tell you that you can use it for a
commercial application, we will however tell you that you can do it at
will, if you are confident that it's good enough for your need.
I hope I will not offend anyone but, to avoid breaking the trunk build, I would
recommend you to adopt a development branch that would synchronize with the
trunk branch only if all unit tests pass. This way, the user won't check out
stuff that is unreliable and break unit test.
The idea is that trunk should _always_ build and pass the tests. If it
does not, this is a mistake. Be sure that the committers are perfectly
aware of this rule, and that they usually do their experiments in some
branches. Now, sh*t happens ... Fill a JIRA when it hits the fan !
Thanks !
