Well. What do you know. I talked about testing in this group and asked specifically about this in the qa list at the end of December of 2009, and I thought I was told the test infrastructure was part of the JCK and that extra signups were needed for that. I guess that I misunderstood.

I will see about adding something to the build wiki so that others are not confused also.

And since I am on Snow Leopard now, I will probably have to figure out the differences and add or update that also. We'll see.

thanx - ray

I do not have time to work on something where it is not easy to run tests. Or am I misunderstanding the policies?
