That said (by Erik and myself), if SuiteRunner becomes popular enough (like JUnit), and even though it's an 'external' task, there would be a good possibility that it could be incorporated in ant-optional.jar, simply to help and evangelize Unit Testing in general, which is a best practice.
That said (one more ;-), if Ant ever comes up with an easier way to integrate third party tasks (and their dependencies) using an AntLib mechanism, maybe it would not make it to Ant, just because it would be so easy to integrate anyhow.

I'll ask Artima.com to see if their interested. :) Thanks again, Adam -----Original Message----- From: Dominique Devienne [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 26 March 2003 15:37 To: 'Ant Developers List' Subject: RE: Artima SuiteRunner Task Sorry, I didn't mean at all to put down your contribution. I was more asking an off topic question about SuiteRunner. My personal opinion on SuiteRunner is not binding in any way the Ant community at large, or the committers ;-) As a note, past comments indicate that Task should ideally live within the tool they Ant-enable (and depend on), so your contribution maybe should also be made (or instead) to the Artima.com SuiteRunner community. --DD -----Original Message----- From: Adam Duffy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 26, 2003 9:36 AM To: Ant Developers List Subject: RE: Artima SuiteRunner Task Hi Dominique, I would like to know what other people think too. If at the end of the day, the developers of Ant do not wish to use the code I have written, that is fine with me. I only want to contribute to the development of Ant - which I am really fond of. As does Leigh Ishikawa. Any advice on that matter? Thanks, Adam -----Original Message----- From: Dominique Devienne [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 26 March 2003 15:20 To: 'Ant Developers List' Subject: RE: Artima SuiteRunner Task Could someone please explain me what SuiteRunner brings to the table that JUnit doesn't???? I've looked at it quite a bit, and maybe beside better reporting, I don't see anything compelling about it compared to JUnit, and even loose the built-in assert methods of TestCase (thru Assert)... I'd be interested in knowing what other see in it.

I have developed an Ant Task for the Artima SuiteRunner and I'd like to submit it. Perhaps a Committer might a respond directly and I'll e-mail them a zip file containing the code? (Didn't want to send a zip file to a few hundred people...!)
