http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=34244 Summary: junit.jar required in ANT_HOME\lib directory Product: Ant Version: 1.6.2 Platform: Other OS/Version: other Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: Core AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Currently, if I want to run a junit task within an Ant build file, I must declare junit.jar in my CLASSPATH variable or I must copy junit.jar into the ANT_HOME\lib directory. I classify this as a design flaw, for the following reason: The Ant distribution includes an ant-junit.jar file, which suggests that Ant fully supports the execution of JUnit test cases. I understand that you don't want to include a full JUnit distribution within the Ant distribution, but I think that, just as Ant looks for the "JAVA_HOME" environment variable, it should also look for a "JUNIT_HOME" variable. This way, if I decide to upgrade my version of JUnit, all I have to do is adjust the contents of my "JUNIT_HOME", and I don't have to remember to copy the new version of junit.jar into the ANT_HOME\lib directory (which is absolutely the WRONG thing for me to be doing anyway). Nor do I have to remember to update a "CLASSPATH" variable (which I also believe is the wrong thing for me to be doing). Clearly, there is a way for me to work around this problem, but I'd like to suggest the enhancement of looking for "JUNIT_HOME" as part of the execution process when handling the junit task.
