I think we should create an "examples" directory somewhere in the 
installed package where we would put several examples (such as those in 
the wiki) of client code. One of these could be the test suite.

I was thinking exactly the same thing last night. It is on my "ToDo" 
list. I haven't made any changes to the R package following the change 
of name of the port argument to "registryPort" because I assume they are 
picked up automatically prior to been handled within the Java side. I 
have updated the start description on the Wiki though.

It is very similar to JUnit 4 but with some important advantages; 
parallel testing, test groups and increasing flexibility. Currently 
there is only one simple test within the TestNG but I will be porting 
all your JUnit tests across shortly and adding some of my own to it.

I am also working on an Ant task to start the server - this will enable 
me to remove the "bin" directory while still enabling the test suite to 
start up server(s).

Cheers,
Ian.
