[opencms-dev] Unit Testing on 6.2 Beta

[Alexander Kandzior]

Ivan,

please go ahead with working on PostgeSQL support for OpenCms. I would be
happy to include any fix for the final 6.2 release.

The org.opencms.legacy.compatibility package is not longer
recommended/required/supported for OpenCms 6 projects. It contains backward
compatibility code for certain discontinued OpenCms 5 features. However, as
PostgeSQL support was added for the OpenCms 6 release, legacy support for
PostgeSQL is really NOT required.

It depends on which CVS branch you are on. It should be build_6_1_8 (ie. 6.2
beta). All unit test run (green) on our machnies here. In case you find some
tests not working, please investigate. If you find that this really has
nothing to do with the Database, please let me know which tests are affected
anyway so that we can make them work on your platform. 

Are you perhaps developing on a Linux based desktop? This may explain some
encoding issues...

Kind Regards,
Alex.
