Re: [wtp-dev] No Joy for M4 Smoke Tests


Just to follow up bug 123547 is caused be a subtle bug introdcued into the EMF team's XSD model (bug 123336) that causes the XSD model to blow up if the Crimson XML parser gets picked up as the default parser.  That means that those using JDK 1.4 will notice that some XSD related things may not work (e.g. content assist, XML Schema editing).

The EMF folks have already fixed this bug ... but until we're able to pick up the fix here's a simple work around for our M4 build.   Basically you need to provide vmargs to force eclipse to use Xerces and not Crimson.  Here's the vmargs to add...

-Djava.endorsed.dirs=<path-to-your-xerces-jars-folder>

...where the 'xerces-jar-folder' is the 'org.apache.xerces' plugin that comes with the WTP download.

In theory we shouldn't encounter any problems running with this vmarg.  In fact, since JRE 1.5 has replaced Crimson with Xerces [1] this would be a good opportunity to ensure that your plugins are Xerces friendly and will run well under JRE 1.5.

[wtp-dev] No Joy for M4 Smoke Tests?






In the latest I build on M4 appears not ready for the smoke testing we had planned for today.


http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/committers/drops/I-I200601121336-200601121336/


There are 4 compile errors.
       What happened to WebAppContainer.convert(String)?


there are JUnit failures

       https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=123547

       I think Craig is on verge of recommendation here.


some JUnit suites are not running at all
       https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=99876

       (depending on what Jeffrey reports on status/likely hood of quick fix,
       we may need to "back out" my changes for qualified version numbers

       until this can be fixed.)
