Mike,
At
present our top level folders equate to our components and thus to bugzilla
components. I would like to see us keep this structure. Without this the
community cannot easily file a bug against our work in this project in an
obvious fashion.
If
there is unanimous agreement that there is a quantity of code that does not fall
within foundation but is worth keeping in a common component outside then we can
discuss as a group and work through the new component
process.
I
expect that DBWS in general has a dependency on foundation and therefore could
leverage any infrastructure stored in foundation's eclipselink.core.test or
eclipselink.extension.oracle.test.

First off, because of Oracle's
wonderful e-mail system (in combination with whatever is at the
other
end of eclipselink-dev), I didn't see Tom's e-mail this morning. I
was under the impression, based on
our face-2-face discussions yesterday
afternoon that 'commons' was a GO - obviously not.
I still strongly
believe that we should have a 'commons' directory-structure (and parallel
Eclipse projects).
The first example of common library and/or code is the
custom JUnit4 runner for testing, hence the
sub-dir
"eclipselink.commons.testing":
${eclipselink-svn-directory-root}

\---eclipselink.commons.testing

ant.jar

junit4-ext-pb4.jar
It is used by both DBWS tests and
non-JDBC args tests. Second, some DBWS tests do not depend on
core
EclipseLink at all - just a JDBC connection from which metadata is
extracted (unit testing what happens in the
DBWS BuildDBWSWar Ant
task)
re: Gordon's comments about testing frameworks
I would like to
clarify - there are only 2 testing frameworks, our internal one and
JUnit4.
The custom JUnit4 runner I wrote is not a third framework -
it is more like a 'helper'
in the same way that XMLUnit was a 'helper' to
JUnit3.
