I was going to try my hand at writing some Mauve test cases. I
downloaded a CVS snapshot of Mauve and got it running on Linux. I ran Mauve
against the recent Sun JDK 1.2 Linux release candidate and got quite a few
errors (like over 1000, with a dominant portion of those against the Character
class). This surprised me. Is Mauve regularly tested against the Sun JDKs?
Either that or I'm doing something wrong.
Now, the big overall question is, "What is the compatibility
intent of Mauve?" Is it to test compatibility with the Sun JDKs (e.g., full "bug
compatibility" with Sun's implementation), or is it to test compatibility with
the abstract JDK API specs (e.g., Sun's implementation may show errors because
it doesn't meet Sun's own abstract API spec)?
