OpenJDK adoption by Java User Groups

[Jonathan Gibbons]

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?
