Hi Koster, (Cced: FreeBSD Java ML)

I subscribe to the FreeBSD Java ML, so you can also
write to me via the ML. That will be able to involve
open discussion. Test is one of the most interesting
topics related to Java for me.

I rely on a small set of test code I've developed. And
Mauve has been applied to shuJIT several times. I'd like
to contribute to Mauve with my own test suite, but I
have had no time to do it.

Mauve is definitely insufficient in quantity of test
pattern and its completeness. Do you know JCK (Java
Compatibility Kit)? The JCK is a test suite for JVM and
Java core API, which has been developed by Sun. JCK is
so substantial that Mauve cannot expose shuJIT's any
defect but the JCK finds more than a hundred problems of
the JIT. Note that I don't have the JCK and a Java guy
in SGI told me the JCK test result. JCK is delivered to
only commercial licensees of the Sun JDK.

Complete test suite is very important for development of
Java runtime such as JVM, JIT and AOT compilers. I have
to claim the importance.

Kazuyuki SHUDO				Happy Hacking!
