John C Cahill <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> described the package as follows: License: gpl Other License: Package: MockBase System name: mockbase Type: non-GNU Description: Thesis: This is a Java project that focuses on JDBC testing. There exists a need to test database oriented code without necessarily involving a database. Many database oriented software systems are hard to test because the state of the database is often hard to reproduce in a testing environment. Usually, a lot of time is spent writing scripts to put the database into a desired state for testing. One solution would be to have a Mock JDBC compliant database server which uses Mock objects. Setup data for the application that is being tested could then be scripted in a non-database oriented manner. The project would be to build a Mock database server that would allow use of Mock objects (see www.mockobjects.com/wiki), and allow the user of the Mock database server to control data that is returned to the application that is being tested via a scripting mechanism. The Mock database server would also need to process SQL in a meaningful manner. I basically view this project as being complimentary to the Mock objects project, but separate in the sense that it "closes the loop" on JDBC testing. PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT I AM APPLYING FOR A NON-GNU PROJECT, BUT SINCE THIS CAME UP ON MY PRIOR SUBMISSION, HERE IS MY JUSTIFICATION. JUSTIFICATION - Why this project would run on a GNU (free) based system. My initial response to the question "The key question here is to figure out if your project can run on a Free Software Java suite" is to say that it would, provided that the Free Software Java Suite implemented java.net, java.io and java.lang, which I believe the CLASSPATH project provides. My one outside dependency for this project is the original mockobjects project (mockobjects.com/wiki). This project would also run on a free software system, since it implements interfaces that Sun suggests, without providing non-free implementations to those interfaces.
