Hi Stefan,
Believe it or not I have at least one tester, Paul Coste. He requested
some of the enhancments and gave suggested code. I've tested/verified
his code and I've asked him to verify mine.
Sorry about the cases, in Starteam, setting cases to fixed only flags
that they need to go to UAT for verification and once successfully
validated the status is changed to Fixed Verified. This then flags it
for a production release and once it is released the status goes to
Fixed Closed.
I guess my next question is, is it my responsibility to get distribute
these patches to some parties that are using Starteam and Ant to verify
or does it get added to the sandbox for others to checkout/build and
verify?
Regards,

You shouldn't resolve any of these bugs in bugzilla before the patches
have actually been applied to Ant's code base - you lose visibility to
the committers.

The main problem with many of the optional SCM tasks (among others) is
that no single Ant committer (still) has an environment around to
actually test it.
What we have now is your patch and your word that it works - and the
only test we have ourselves would be "it compiles". If you could any
other Starteam user to test your patched version, it would help
tremendously.
Even then, you'd be bound to waiting for the next Ant release, which may
be several months away even if your patches were applied immediately.
A Starteam Antlib that could be released separately from Ant would be
the best option, but we'd have a hard time getting this released for the
same reasons that you have a hard time finding anybody to apply your
patch - no current committer could test the code.
