Hi, I just checked in the following for the new file lock tests. I have updated runner to pass -Dmauve.vmexec=$RUNTIME. When you use some other way to run mauve you may want to update that to include the appropriate system property. If you don't the test will fail with: FAIL: gnu.testlet.java.nio.channels.FileChannel.lock: mauve.vmexec system property NOT SET! (number 1) Cheers, Mark
