I'm all for the <junit> task actually (it gives better output among other
features), but in the spirit of "Don't take down a fence unless you know the
reason it was put up in the first place", just a reminder:
We had originally set up several of the commons build scripts to use the
<junit> task rather than a <java> task, and then changed it back because the
former required a particular (although not difficult) configuration of Ant
to work properly (namely setting up the junit task itself), while <java>
simply required the right classpath.
