Knut Anders Hatlen commented on DERBY-5200:
-------------------------------------------
Downloading junit.jar automatically when needed sounds like a useful
improvement. If I understand the patch correctly, it will install junit.jar
when running the junit-all target, which is the target that runs the tests. But
before running the tests, one would have to build the tests, which also
requires junit.jar. So it is very likely that junit.jar is already there when
junit-all is invoked, otherwise the test couldn't have been built. Should
perhaps the testing target (the target that builds the tests) also depend on
install_junit?
> [patch] embellish build.xml to automatically install junit.jar in the correct
> directory if it doesn't exist.
