We could certainly use a different embedded database than HSQL for those tests that only require an embedded database. However some of the tests, e.g. some of the clustering tests require a shared database that can be seen by all nodes in the cluster. My point was, basically we should make the default test database a shared database, e.g. mysql so we can run the entire test suite. When the tests are run against an embedded database, e.g. javadb, hsql or whatever not all the tests can be run which is not ideal. Eventually this will be solved by running all tests against the full database matrix (Ryan told me we are on the waiting list for this after hibernate and jbpm) but until then I wanted a stop-gap solution.
