We had been adequately testing with Junit 4.12 once upon a time which is what I had in my config options without the additional explicit Hamcrest version and what successfully allowed for testing with Junit 4.12.

Re: Download Junit and Hamcrest in ./bootstrap?
Hi Kay Why did you delete hamcrest from configure.ac in r1757861? It's essential: (recent) Junit doesn't work without it, and at least subsequent tests can't run! I will be adding it back soon if there are no objections.

I think it would be misleading because of the directory name. Dragging in extra dependencies just to build the .jar files seems like a waste. Downloading everything to one directory would make life easier, so it is too bad about the name. The description for OOO Extras on Sourceforge says this: A space to store classic OOo dependencies that cannot be easily redistributed in Apache OpenOffice's SVN tree, Initially this was meant for copyleft tarballs only but it is also pretty handy to mirror other file dependencies. Since ext_sources isn't distributed in the source archives for releases, checking even non-copyleft source tarballs into svn under that directory only helps people who are building from sources checkout out via svn. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
Re: Download Junit and Hamcrest in ./bootstrap?
Sadly it's not that simple: Junit builds with Maven, and Hamcrest with Gradle. Is it ok to download the binaries, or is only source code allowed under ext_sources?

Download Junit and Hamcrest in ./bootstrap?
Hi If you've been checking the buildbots you'll see that all who don't use --without-junit are currently broken in ./configure due to junit being too old. This is unlikely to change, as the buildslaves are running Ubuntu 10.04 which doesn't have newer versions of Junit available in apt. This is part of a bigger problem, which is that Junit's dependencies changed multiple times in the 4.x releases, which is why I changed configure.ac to need at least 4.11 (the maximum being 4.12). Instead of needing a correct system Junit version to run tests during the build, and having to worry about having correct system versions of Hamcrest on the classpath, should we not rather treat them like external dependencies and download specific versions during ./bootstrap? It's under 300 kB for both, and the bvt/fvt/pvt tests already download their own copy. Damjan
