But you're right, we should have more successful build and pay more 
attention to these Junit failures especially since there hasn't been a 
Junit error free build on the 3.1 stream for a while.
A junit that fails "randomly" usually indicates that there is a bug 
somewhere in the code.  Either the code itself isn't right, or the unit 
test itself is incorrect.    I think the last green build was about 2 
weeks ago, and that was only for an hour.   I've made a suggestion on 
the WTP-Releng list of a way to possibily help narrow this down.  
Hopefully we can get the builds going faster so that people aren't 
having to wait 4 hours.
I'll be opening bugs for every Junit failures that I see on the builds 
in hopes to achieve 0 Junit failing builds again.
Sounds good.   I know from an adopter standpoint, I'm not comfortable 
using a build that has unit test failures. 
Along the testing front, people might be interested in the Junit
