Thanks Sean and Rob.

Yes, I was told before to avoid shell scripts in tests. I'll wait till after your investigation to see what's the best to do in this case.

Some interesting conversations were had lately about shell scripts during Joe Darcy's recent infrastructure tech talk. In particular around the idea of a "jdk.testing" package to provide libraries that would help with the types of operations seen in shell scripts. I'm really hoping to spend some time on this myself over the coming weeks. (in an effort to at least understand why we need shell scripts and whether we could do something else instead)

In any case it should be possible to simply replace the script with a java program that does the same thing. That would require fiddling with Process however, and its debatable as to whether that would result in fewer test failures. (shell scripts counting for a proportionally large number of those failures) JSR199 might help to reduce the amount of ProcessBuilders required in this instance. -Rob On 24/06/13 20:50, Seán Coffey wrote: You should be able to do it with scripts. Mandy designed something similar recently :

In the recent infrastructure meeting, scripts for tests were frowned upon. I don't see any alternative unless jtreg is able to handle this relatively simple (common?) setup request. regards, Sean.

I have a test that I run manually with Apache Xerces jar. Thanks, Joe
