The errors are NoSuchMethodErrors raised by calling a BigDecimal constructor which appears in Java 5 but not JDK 1.4. The offending Derby test code was checked in on 2011-03-29 at subversion revision 1086799 as part of the work on DERBY-2515. I would have expected to see this error long before 2011-11-08. Any theories about why it popped up only last week? Thanks, -Rick
