I went ahead and implemented my proposed solution locally just to see, and yeah it stopped the double parsing. The tests all run fine from command line (mvn clean test). However, some fail when I run from IDE (specifically some of the packaging tests again; ScannerTest was the culprit today). But they fail regardless of whether my changes are there or not. So I'm gonna go ahead and resolve that issue. On Wed, 2010-09-08 at 14:48 -0500, Steve Ebersole wrote: -- Steve Ebersole <steve(a)hibernate.org&gt; http://hibernate.org
