The test framework needs re-writing for JBM2. The current is heavily reliant on using an mbean server and our current mbeans, obviously all this is changing and we wont need the current test service container. Currently we start the server and only stop and restart it when the configuration changes, this means that the tests do not run in isolation. This is obviously because it takes too long to restart it every time, the tests would take for ever to complete. Since we'll be able to bootstrap the server standalone the start up time will be much quicker, maybe we need to review how we run our test suite. Does anyone have any views?
