Right. The versioned jar files should be stable, only the junit.jar sym link will change over time. /usr/share/lib/java/junit.jar link to most recent version /usr/share/lib/java/junit-4.5.jar /usr/share/lib/java/junit-3.8.2.jar Mengwei plans to integrate junit-4.5 soon (c-team review is tomorrow). Petr, Does findbugs work with junit-4.5? Cheers, Jim
