Re: Ch 14: Testing using multiple JVMs versus mulitple ActorSystems in one JVM

The multi-jvm test system that Akka will be releasing will be based on multiple JVMs, which is one reason.
The other, main, reason is that having separate JVMs means that you're going to ensure that you aren't relying on some sort of in-memory information somewhere. Even with Actors and Futures and Akka, and all that other stuff, there are still situations where you could, unknowingly, be dependent on data that happens to be in the same memory space. Multiple JVMs models the remote-testing much better than multiple ActorSystems would inside the same JVM.
So there's really nothing "Akka related" as far as I can tell.. just the usual stuff.
