X-OriginalArrivalTime: 28 Apr 2005 22:52:32.0766 (UTC) FILETIME=[F68A19E0:01C54C44] X-SW-Source: 2005-q2/txt/msg00000.txt.bz2 Hi, I've been tasked with confirming the claim made by a PersonalJava VM vendor that their implementation passes the Mauve suite. (If you're not familiar with PersonalJava, you can just think of it as, basically JDK 1.1.8, with some of the fine-grained security model APIs from JDK 1.2 thrown in, and some of the expectations of the AWT implementation relaxed.) I've had a quick try at using Mauve to test various JDKs: JDK 1.1.8 (from blackdown) JDK 1.2.2 (from Sun) JDK 1.3.1 (from Sun) JDK 1.4.2 (from Sun) Of these, I only had success with JDK 1.4.2. All of the others failed to compile the SimpleTestHarness, as well as some of the classes involved in various individual tests. I was using make KEYS=JDK1.1 check in hopes of limiting the scope of Mauve to tests appropriate for the 1.1 level of JDK. Doing that I was surprised to see compile time errors from any of the tests, but really surprised to see that the basic harness was using features from JDK 1.4. Questions: * Is anyone else out there using Mauve for testing such old JDKs as 1.1.8 (or even PersonalJava)? If so, could you share your strategy and experiences? * With respect to this vendor's claim, it appears to be made in marketing literature dated 2001. Is it possible to go back to the sources that would have been current in 2001 in the current CVS repository? Thanks, sts
