Minor note: The test targets in d23 should include junit in the classpath. It seems they only work when manually adding junit.jar to the CLASSPATH on the commandline, which should probably not be necessary.


Actually, it's not as simple as I thought. For Ant 1.5.3 (the version I use) you need to have junit.jar and optional.jar in the Ant lib directory OR have them BOTH in the classpath OR reference both of them via a classpath element. However, you can't mix and match; e.g. you can't put optional.jar in the lib directory and junit.jar in the classpath.

My inclination is to remove junit.jar from the XOM distro entirely and require it to be gotten at the same time one downloads optional.jar since I don't bundle ant currently. The alternative is bundling optional.jar and junit.jar, but that makes the distro even bigger, and may conflict with existing ant installations. Thoughts?
