Unit tests for OpenJDK?

[Harry Simons]

Alan, I agree fully that I wouldn't be able to reuse the JCK tests --
verbatim --  for such a thing as a custom file-system. For this, I was
thinking of editing small parts of the "OpenJDK tests" (e.g., changing the
filesystem scheme in the test code from "file:/" or "zip:/" to
"myScheme:/") but reusing almost everything else.

Thanks for both your responses, esp the first one.

Regards,
/HS
