Re: [Springframework-developer] Releasing Tests?

[<jue...@we...>]

I think that the difference isn't big enough to warrant separate =
releases just because of the tests. A more convincing option would be to =
ship a distribution that contains everything (even including tests) but =
just the minimum set of libraries (i.e. aop-alliance and =
commons-logging). No working samples, no compiling of framework sources.
=20
That would result in a 7.5 MB "light edition", as opposed to >14 MB for =
the "full edition" with all libraries. I guess that many users would =
consider the "light edition" sufficient in that case: After all, it =
includes everything as sources plus pre-built framework libraries - just =
without the option to build samples, framework, or tests!
=20
We could pursue that after M4 if we feel the need to, starting to offer =
two such distributions as of RC1. For the time being, a single 14 MB =
distribution should be fine, IMO.

I think it's good to have the tests distributed as well, but maybe we
could have two releases? One including the tests, one not including the
tests (or does this result in too much work)...

I'm inclined to agree, but this implies a further issue: To be able to
compile all the tests and the framework sources in the first place, we
need to ship all the libraries that we depend on. We're talking about
additional 1.6 MB of libs here (excluding Xerces and Clover). The test
sources amount to 1.3 MB themselves (400 KB zipped). So in total, around
2 MB increase in distribution size: from 12.1 MB (M3 + JPetStore) to
14.1 MB. If we agree to accept that, I'll be happy to include the tests
in the upcoming release.

I agree with Rong. I think we should include tests in M4.

Hi all,

First time poster here. I've had Rod's book for a while, just haven't
finished reading it yet. :) Which I plan to do during the holidays.

I was a bit disappointed when I pulled down the m3 release and didn't
find any tests in it. Since we are all doing XP, agile, TDD now, isn't
it high time that tests are released together with production code? It
would be so much easier for newcomers to come up to speed with the
framework ("Tests are
documentation") and contribute new tests and patches (dealing with cvs
is a lot of hassle from behind firewalls).

Any thoughts?

Rong
