emit in this case means make it clearly visible at first glance which 
JDK, Host, JDBC Driver and SQL Server version are being used for the 
test case run.  That seems like a pretty basic requirement to me.

This presumes everybody with an interest in the test results generated 
from that box is also kept in the loop with all future changes and 
upgrades of that box.

This presumes that the person responsible for maintaining the testing 
box understands all the implications of interactions with the various 
versions of the components used in the tests.

I'm surprised you think what should amount to a couple of out.println() 
statements is "a lot of effort".



For example Max wasn't aware 5.0 has gone GA, well it if was clear from 
looking at the test summary what was actually being tested someone with 
a better knowledge could have pointed something like that out.

I don't expect everyone to know everything about everything and I also 
don't expect everyone to go digging at the sight of every test failure. 
So if something can be done to make the test results a more accurate 
picture of where things stand is a good thing by me.  YMMV

Great, but of little relevance to the daily testing emailed to the devel 
list.
