I'm interested in being added to this test list, if the messages are not
to be posted to the biojava-dev list.  Just make sure that they are
flagged with an appropriate [biojava-cvs-commit] or some such subject
prefix.

Using maven for this?

An additional useful report would be an unit test coverage report.  Clover
is a pretty good tool for this, and can be integrated with maven (and ant,
of course).

It requires a license, but the O|B|F could request a free license for use
in the biojava project.
