Steps to reproduce:

Use git to checkout https://github.com/pfirmstone/JGDMS.git

Set the following path variables to your Java installation directory:

JAVA_HOME=file path to java 8

JDK_HOME=file path to jdk 8 (same as above)

Make sure the java command returns Java 8.

$java -version

Change directory into JGDMS

$mvn package

Change directory into qa: cd ../qa

Create a file called build.properties

Add the following 2 lines to build.properties (replace with your path):

river.home=C:/Users/peter/Documents/NetBeansProject/JGDMS
run.tests=org/apache/river/test/impl/mahalo/RandomStressTest.td

Then build the qa suite:

$ant build

Then edit the RandomStressTest.td file and add the following line (for 
repeatability)
org.apache.river.test.impl.mahalo.RandomStressTest.seed=1620791630932

Then change JAVA_HOME and JDK_HOME to your preferred version of java, 
and change your path to point to the java version you want to test.

Then run the test:

$ant run-tests
