Thanks for raising and addressing this issue. In specifying the JUnit version, I was mimicking the way that BUILDING.txt treats Ant. I like Dan's suggestion and I'll amend the scripts accordingly. I'll also amend BUILDING.txt to say that the build succeeds with JUnit 3.8.1 but that you can probably use the latest version available from JUnit.
This isn't probably a problem yet, but I think I've heard that JUnit 4 is a pretty massive change from JUnit 3. In particular, JUnit 4 switches to usage of Java source annotations (the "@" syntax) for specifying test behavior, and hence requires that you use JDK 1.5 or higher.
Since Derby probably doesn't want to require JDK 1.5 yet, we may actually have a requirement to stick with JUnit 3 for a while. thanks, bryan
