XOM API for Processing XML with Java

["Francois Beausoleil" <fbos AT users.sourceforge.net>]

What I do on the JGB project (and other ones I have) is to distribute
junit.jar, and let the user worry about Ant and optional.jar.  Then, I
provide an install.junit target which copies junit.jar from my project's
lib/ folder to $ANT_HOME/lib.

I don't know if it's common for projects to do it this way.  I certainly
haven't heard complaints from anyone.

Search for name="junit.install" on
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/jgb/jgb/build.xml?rev=1.116&view=text

Hope that helps,
François
