Thanks, Bryan. I'll add this warning to BUILDING.txt too.
Cheers,

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,
