[OFBiz] Dev - Entity Engine Unit Testing

[A. Zeneski]

Brett,

Si is correct. We currently have a container setup to run the JUnit 
tests. So, this starts up OFBiz just like normal, will start JOTM, 
Shark, etc so we can even write tests which test workflow behavior.

I just added a target in the build.xml file to run the tests:

ant run-tests

Also, I added today a placeholder file in SVN to hold the test methods. 
I added two examples which will need to be re-coded once we add 2-3 
test tables and write some code to populate some test data.
