[ptt-users] TestMaker is creating problems...

[Frank Cohen]

Sounds like TestMaker is running out of memory or hitting an  
exception it can not handle. It likely reports the error to the  
output window but then the whole application closes unexpectedly  
before you can read the error message.

Geoff offers a good suggestion to debug the problem. With Geoff's  
permission I'll add his Ant task to the TestMaker distribution.

The TestMaker.sh and TestMaker.bat scripts have an option to run  
TestMaker in command-line mode (not in graphical mode) by adding - 
commandline. That's the preferred way to run TestMaker right now as  
these start-up scripts also correctly build the classpath.

One other thing, if you need to run in graphical mode I added a  
command line switch to direct the system messages to the standard  
output (and not to the TestMaker graphical interface.) To do this you  
add -outputToShell to the args in the startup scripts.

Hope this helps.

-Frank
