Before i go any farther, is there something i'm missing?Unfortunately Junit has to be in ants classloader or else the junit task will not work. So while we can download it and have the user compile the junit classes, unless they move the jar to ant home it still wont work ;(
1) the dependency is now optional
2) its explicit
3) the test task does not run by default, and the message ant provides is reasonably informative
4) it is now possible to include the jar by modifying the ant.properties file
I don't think downloading it to the ant lib directory is a good solution, as it seems wrong to modify one package as part of the build for another. The only other solution i can think of is to make it part of the build notes.
