Hi Joe,

ok, so we are at least all getting those errors.

We are mostly using junit4. This is probably rather difficult to
understand without knowing Java, though I recently tried to write more
tests in XQuery (see test/src/xquery/).

Anyway, each test class should be self-contained. If a class needs a
running server for its test, it will start one, usually in its
@BeforeClass method and stop it in @AfterClass. This worked perfectly
well until recently. But if you now try to run, for example,
AllXmlRpcTests:

bin/run.sh org.junit.runner.JUnitCore org.exist.xmlrpc.AllXmlRpcTests

you more or less see how the first test class completes and closes
down the server, but while the second test class starts up a new
jetty, Java just terminates without further notice.
