Compiling with jdk1.3.1

Recently I tried to build a project under Suse 9.3 with jdk1.3.1. Normally I use 1.4.2, and all went well. However when I set my java to jdk1.3.1 and start up the compile, I get the following error:

[javac] Compiling 1634 source files to /home/jan/workspace/release/build.bak/xxxx/build/classes
[javac] error: compiler message file broken: key=compiler.err.sun.io.MalformedInputException arguments=null, null, null, null, null, null, null

I found out that it was while the original charset of the files was different as the locale of my current shell.
The command locale shows:
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
..

When I made an explicit `export LANG=en_US.ISO-8859-1` I could run my compile again. Strangely, jdk1.4 does not suffer from this problem.

To change my environment to jdk1.3.1 and another ant, I use a source script change-java-ant-1_3_1.source:
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/jdk1.3.1_16
export ANT_HOME=/usr/local/apache-ant-1.6.3
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
export PATH=$ANT_HOME/bin:$PATH
alias ant="ant --noconfig"
export LANG=en_US.ISO-8859-1

echo "run with source, and not as shell; else it gets forked"
echo "alias of ant set to ant --noconfig"
echo "LANG set to en_US.ISO-8859-1 so that latakia compile works"
echo
echo "test with java -version"
echo " ant -version"
echo " locale"

The --noconfig is needed so that the /etc/ant.conf will not be read. This ant.conf file has already been set to my suse rpm-based ant.
To load the source script I must use source. When I would use a shell to execute it, the new settings would only be valid inside the new shell.

Junit4 running parallel junit classes

To run junit testcases parallel, you can create your own class to run junit with: Add this tag to your class declaration. @RunWith(Parallelized.class) Implementation of this class looks like: package mypackage; import java.util.concurrent.ExecutorService; import java.util.concurrent.Executors; import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit; import org.junit.runners.Parameterized; import org.junit.runners.model.RunnerScheduler; public class Parallelized extends Parameterized {         private static class ThreadPoolScheduler implements RunnerScheduler     {         private ExecutorService executor;                 public ThreadPoolScheduler()         {             String threads = System.getProperty("junit.parallel.threads", "16");    ...

Create a groovy console and bind to selenium

Required groovy files In the previous posting we defined the pom file that we need for our build environment. Now we will setup some groovy files to get selenium and groovy running interactively. ConsoleWaiter.groovy The idea of Groovy Console I found on some other sides. Honour goes for instance too: http://josefbetancourt.wordpress.com/tag/eclipse-2/ I copied some code of this, and put it under src/test/groovy/com/jankester/selenium/test/utils: package com.jankester.selenium.test.utils /** * File: ConsoleWaiter.groovy */ import groovy.lang.Binding; import groovy.ui.Console; /** * Provides a wrapper for the console. * * Based on source by John Green * Adapted from: http://www.oehive.org/files/ConsoleWaiter.groovy * Released under the Eclipse Public License * http://www.eclipse.org/legal/epl-v10.html * * I added methods to allow use from Java. * * The run() method launches the console and causes this thread * to sleep until the console's window is closed....
