[jbosstools-dev] Test & compilation failures in trunk (was Re: Target Platform Updates :: It's Time To Test Indigo SR2!)

Components in trunk are now spinning against the updated TPs. Note that after the Jenkins server restart this morning at 7am GMT, some of my ant scripts were no longer working. I've fixed the biggest issue which was causing numerous builds to fail during their publishing step (Ant was not respecting the classpath declaration of an XSLT operation, so couldn't use Saxon for the transformation), but I'm seeing more test failures than before which suggests there may be other issues to come. One of the perks of the restart, however, was that we now have additional columns in the job view for upstream and downstream interconnections. https://hudson.qa.jboss.com/hudson/view/DevStudio/view/DevStudio_Trunk/ Anyway, here's to clean spins over the weekend and good trunk bits for testing on Monday. Have a good weekend everyone -- and if you're AFK between now and New Years, happy holidays too! Nick (I'll be offline Dec 26 - Jan 6 but will be around to check mail from time to time.)
