I noticed an issue with the latest build of the Arch apache ant package that is causing some of my java ant build scripts to break. Apparently in the ant v1.6.5 package, we were including junit.jar as part of the package, but now in v1.7.0 we are not.

Can we please switch it back? Having the junit.jar ship as a part of the ant package was very helpful, since then ant would pick it up automatically (as per http://ant.apache.org/manual/OptionalTasks/junit.html, since it was being placed in ANT_HOME/lib, ant would find it).

Without it present, I'm going to have to go and modify each of my Java projects now to each individually include the junit jar.


Perhaps we can do this by including a symlink in the ant package to /usr/share/java/junit/junit.jar? (Which is provided by the junit package.)

I've attached a patch to the apache ant PKGBUILD that does this. I installed it on my system and it seems to work fine.
   PKGBUILD.diff (1.2 KiB)
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Fixed
Additional comments about closing:  Junit installs itself into /usr/share/java now, and provides a symlink in /usr/lib for ant now.

This seems an elegant solution, except that junit is in community and we don't want to create dependencies of extra on community.

I'll consider taking junit up to extra and doing this.
