Re: [DrJava] Please test newest DrJava!

[Eric E. A. <ea...@cs...>]

The new commit works fine on my Windows XP box. All test cases pass, and
it looks fine by inspection. NewJVMTest still hangs, but I guess that's
what to expect until Brian puts in the code to automatically kill the
second JVM on quit.

That leads to a question: How did I get the test cases to pass if
NewJVMTest was hanging? The answer is that I've found a workaround to the
problem: keep DrJava up and running while running the test cases. It works
consistently, at least on Windows XP (I haven't tried it on other
platforms). With the workaround, NewJVMTest completes on my machine in ~2
seconds.
