Hi Niall, I downloaded the source tar ball and build it from scratch with M2 on Linux using my compiler zoo.
One note in advance: There's a lot of logging at the console along with quite some printed stack traces. However, for most of my JDK's (Blackdown 1.4.2.03, IDM JDK 1.4.2.9, JRockit 1.4.2.14, JRockit 1.5.0.11, Sun JDK 1.4.2.15, Sun JDK 1.5.0.12, Sun JDK 1.6.0.02) the test succeed with no problems. Not so for IMB JDK 1.5.0.5: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Test set: org.apache.commons.beanutils.BeanificationTestCase ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tests run: 8, Failures: 0, Errors: 1, Skipped: 0, Time elapsed: 3.25 sec <<< FAILURE! testMemoryLeak2(org.apache.commons.beanutils.BeanificationTestCase) Time elapsed: 2.361 sec <<< ERROR! java.lang.OutOfMemoryError at org.apache.commons.beanutils.BeanificationTestCase.testMemoryLeak (BeanificationTestCase.java:171) at org.apache.commons.beanutils.BeanificationTestCase.testMemoryLeak (BeanificationTestCase.java:171) [snip] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Test set: org.apache.commons.beanutils.locale.LocaleBeanificationTestCase ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tests run: 9, Failures: 0, Errors: 1, Skipped: 0, Time elapsed: 3.719 sec <<< FAILURE! testMemoryLeak (org.apache.commons.beanutils.locale.LocaleBeanificationTestCase) Time elapsed: 2.48 sec <<< ERROR! java.lang.OutOfMemoryError at org.apache.commons.beanutils.locale.LocaleBeanificationTestCase.testMemoryLeak (LocaleBeanificationTestCase.java:182) at org.apache.commons.beanutils.locale.LocaleBeanificationTestCase.testMemoryLeak (LocaleBeanificationTestCase.java:182) Since the test implies some nasty error condition (I did not have a look at the code yet), it might simply reveal some error of the JDK (especially since IBM JDK 1.4.2 works) ... - Jörg --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
