[wtp-releng] Why are 3.1 I builds running? and Should we use Java 6 to run our JUnit suites?


The builds are running because I am trying out the JUnit  tests with Java 6.
Seems to me everyone I know uses Java 6 to run WTP ... so, seems best to test with it.

Please comment in bug 248038 if you know of any reasons pro or con.
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=248038

I ran them once, and all seems ok ... but, it does seem as though there a few new failures, so makes be wonder if we do have some "bugs" (in tests or code) related to Java 6? (You know .. JEM tests might have a few where "expected result" is now different with Java 6?).

Given the (lack of) stability in our JUnits, I will run the build/tests again and see if there are consistent failure patterns, or if that one time was just some random failures.

At any rate ... there's no change in code going on, so no need to hold up your smoke tests or re-test anything ... but, please don't make code changes until weekly I build declared.
(Unless you consider it a blocker that should be fixed before we declare, of course).

Thanks,
