Myrna van Lunteren commented on DERBY-5200:
-------------------------------------------
I have a question regarding this fix.
I thought an alternative to having junit.jar in java/tools/junit.jar was if you
have a property for junit in a properties file.
So I have a line like this in my local.properties:
junit=/local1/junit/junit.jar
This way I keep out one more non-checked in file and I need only one junit.jar
for a number of checked-out branches.
Since the fix for this bug went in, the build downloads junit.jar, which I
think is pointless in my set-up.
Did I do something wrong in making use of this property? Or is it ok to change
this so it will only download junit.jar if the junit property is not set?
