Hi Greg,
to be honest, I hardly see any reason of *not* placing
junit.jar in $ANT_HOME/lib as it saves a lot of fuss.
Anyway, here are some more ways, that prevents from
moving files in and out distribution:
1) You can place junit.jar (and all third party jars
required by ant optional task) in use
Greg,
I found some interesting comments on the Ant Archives; see [1] and
its further comments on the same thread. Bottom line, it is recommended you
use the -lib flag when invoking ant; so your ant invocation would be:
$ ant -lib /path/to/your/jars -f buildfile.xml
Hope this helps you
