Using the Jonas Test Suite with CACAO

Many thanks go to Florent Benoit of JOnAS fame for providing a lot of help.

See also the companion page BuildingJonas.

What I had to do to compile the test suite

get jonas test suite
setup fake jdk
change build.properties
change build.xml
patch CACAO with the patch available on BootPackages
add an index to glibj.zip with the script available on BootPackages (or with jar -i)
export environment variables
invoke ant

Running the Test Suite

fix a classpath bug that makes HSQLDB drop the connection.

Getting the test suite

Get JOnAS test suite from CVS (This suite will match JOnAS CVS):

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.jonas.forge.objectweb.org:/cvsroot/jonas co jonas_tests

For getting the test suite to match JOnAS 4.6.6:

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.jonas.forge.objectweb.org:/cvsroot/jonas co -r JONAS_4_6_6 jonas_tests

Fake JDK Setup

See BuildingJonas for how to setup the fake jdk.

Changes to build.properties

Edit in build.properties the protocols from:

protocols.names=jrmp,jeremie,iiop,cmi

protocols.names=jeremie

Environment Variables

Export the following environment variables:

BOOTCLASSPATH: This should include vm.zip of CACAO and glibj.zip of Classpath.
JAVA_HOME: Set this to your fake jdk directory.
JONAS_ROOT: Where you have put JOnAS.
PATH: Set this to $JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH

Invoking ant

For compiling with ecj, setup your fake jdk as described in BuildingJonas and do:

ant -Dbuild.compiler=extJavac

For compiling with Jikes (may not work):

ant --usejikes
