Hi Nascif,

Thanks for taking the time to tell us about these issues.

What problems did you have with Abbot ? I never used it myself, but I
thought it was the best tool around.

Could you please send me your test files, or any information that could
help me investigate the problem ?
What JDK version are you using ?

I cannot see how UISpec4j could influence the behaviour of JUnit. Maybe an
exception thrown in the test constructor ? Or during the initialization of
the UISpecToolkit ?

The deprecation messages are all caused by our ToolkitDelegate class,
which overrides all the Swing Toolkit methods, even the deprecated ones.
This should not cause any problem.

For the UISpec test cases, our timeouts are maybe too tight. We'll have to
work on that obviously.

No, I am French (I live near Paris). My name is indeed spanish or arabian,
depending on how far you look back in the family history.

I look forward for hearing from you soon Nascif,

Régis.
