One of my Test Cleanup
(<http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Test_Cleanup>) efforts is to
consistently use standard JUnit 4 for the Java-based tests in the OOo
code base. It appears that JUnit is not yet a requirement in the OOo
build environment, and I see different ways how to make it one:
1 Include JUnit 4 as an external module in the OOo code base, allowing
some configure --with-system-junit switch to override it. We could
include either
1.1
<http://sourceforge.net/projects/junit/files/junit/4.8.1/junit-4.8.1.jar/download>
which, due to being platform-independent, can directly be used without
any compilation (and appears to run fine on our Java 5 baseline),
or
1.2
<http://sourceforge.net/projects/junit/files/junit/4.8.1/junit4.8.1.zip/download>
and build it.
2 Require JUnit 4 to be installed as a prerequisite, checked by
configure. We could either
2.1 try to find it on CLASSPATH (which would imply that set_soenv.in
must no longer resets the CLASSPATH; which is probably dubious,
anyway---as dubious as the additional XCLASSPATH), or
2.2 require that an appropriate configure --with-junit=... switch is
always passed (which would be optionally available in 2.1, too, to
explicitly specify the JUnit 4 to be used).
Opinions?
