Re: Mauve coding on Windows

As your purpose is to just write some new tests and not to test GNU 
Classpath, the simplest and easiest way would be without much thinking 
to delete all tests.

Store the unmodified copy of the source. Then remove 
'BinaryCompatibility', 'gnu', 'java', 'javax', 'locales' and 'org' from 
gnu/testlet. Try to build. Errors will be reported in 
gnu/testlet/config.java, because the generated file names contain the 
'\' character (separator under Windows!). Open that file and replace the 
'\' by '\\' in all strings. Try to build again. Should succeed. Now, 
look at the contents  the previously deleted gnu/testlet/java, 
gnu/testlet/javax and so on, to see how the tests look like and that 
rules the folder system follows. All tests implement the Testlet 
interface and has the line like "// Tags: JDK1.4" on the top. The Mauve 
framework is rather clear, you will understand. Try to move back, 
compile and run several tests that would look simple for you.

If still fails, check:

1. If Eclipse has copied all source files into the project folder in 
workspace.
2. If your Ant is properly installed and added to the project build path.
