ant test using JDK 1.6

[vgriffin]

When I run ant test with JDK 1.6, I get a stacktrace that starts with:

test:

If I run with 1.5, everything works. Is there anything special I have to do to use 1.6?

It's because JBoss Embedded is incompatible with Java 6. But there is a patch to make it work, I don't know if it is official or not and if it works with the version of JBoss embedded shipped with Seam tough.

[vgriffin]

In JBoss, I found mention of a JVM settiong

-Dsun.lang.ClassLoader.allowArraySyntax=true

but I don't know how to attach that setting to embedded JBoss. I didn't see any mention of a patch.

Where else should I look?

Oh you are here too...

Documentation says that integration testing only works on Java 5.0 and not Java 6.0. I was able to make it work for Java 6.0 by adding:

<sysproperty key="sun.lang.ClassLoader.allowArraySyntax" value="true"/> to the testng task.

I posted this on the Seam in Action post too.
