[Leech-devel] java.util.logging options

[Brian E. <bd...@co...>]

I added a "-l" option to node.py that allows for startup of the node  
instance with additional logging enabled.  The logging.properties  
file that gets used is in the "bin" directory.

The JSK uses the java.util.logging package, so this is a handy way to  
get some extra debug info.

[Leech-devel] unit tests on startup branch

[Brian E. <bd...@co...>]

The units tests on the "startup" branch now work under Windows, at  
least under Parallels.  Can someone please verify on a native copy  
of  Windows?

There were some temp directory and path bugs in the tests, plus a  
more nasty one surrounding clock resolution.  It turns out that the  
clock resolution on Mac OS X was much better than on Windows.   The  
implementation of java.io.File on Windows will only update its  
lastModified timestamp if approximately 850 milliseconds have passed  
since the file was changed.

Good old clock resolution bugs.  This is why Leech is designed not to  
trust remote clock timestamps, even though the network may be running  
NTP or another time synchronization protocol.
