Today we moved the repository for the Jacks java compiler testing
project into the Mauve
cvs repository. Mauve has come a long way since Anthony and I started
it all those years ago, and with the addition of Jacks it is probably
the most comprehensive free test suite for the core of a Java
implementation.

The only missing bit seems to be VM-level testing. The verifier
tests provide a little of this, and the binary compatibility tests
provide a little more, but really we could use a concerted effort to
test all the various constraints on the VM. Probably should steal
code from the kaffe distribution…

I would propose renaming Mauve to the Free Compatibility Kit,
except the acronym is too vulgar :-).
