OpenJDK adoption by Java User Groups (original) (raw)

Stephen,

I've browsed around the links for Clover. It looks very interesting, but it's not clear to me the constraints under which it operates.

Note that OpenJDK uses jtreg for the publicly available regression tests, and that many of the tests rely on being able to start up one or more new JVMs for the duration of the test. In my experience this has been too much of a stretch for commercially available coverage tools to tolerate, and they typically can't cope and/or fall over. A common assumption for such tools is that all API tests can run sequentially in the same JVM.

Do you know if there are any such restrictions with Clover?
