[JBoss-dev] Fixing the testsuite for JRockit

An important task for the jbas codebase is to fix the testsuite when run under the jrockit JVM. This is initially for the 4.x branch but the fixes should apply verbatim to jboss head. The starting point is here (see linked tasks & subtasks) http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-3598 http://cruisecontrol.jboss.com/cc/buildresults/jboss-4.0-testsuite-1.4 At any time there are anywhere between 54-58 failures, so if something is in your area please have a go. We'll be assigning tasks to people, soon. Same thing for the testsuite when run under sun-jdk5 (around 10 failures) http://cruisecontrol.jboss.com/cc/buildresults/jboss-4.0-testsuite-sun-1 .5 http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-3611 There are also a lot of transient failures in parts of the testsuite that are more sensitive to timing/cpu issues (e.g. JMS), so subsequent runs often produce different results. This may also have to do with testsuite runs that interfere with each other. If we can (a) improve those parts of the testsuite and (b) make sure testsuite runs are more isolated from each other, that would be an improvement. (I see already a related task from Adrian: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-3221) Thanks /Dimitris
