Hi David and Dan,
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.
Cheers,
-Rick

Hi, Rick. I am working on reviewing and hopefully ultimately committing
your patch for the compatibility tests (DERBY-516). I noticed in
BUILDING.txt that you are asking to download a specific version of JUnit
from http://www.junit.org.
Why is a specific version needed? If there's no obvious requirement for
a specific version then the instructions should indicate that it has
been tested with version X but any version >= X should work.
I know for downloads like jikes a specific version is needed because the
later versions have some bug that stops it compiling Derby.
Dan.
