Re: Barracuda: Howto build with 1.3.1 + a question

Hi Franck,

Because, at least under j2sdk1.4.x, the JUnit jar must exist in 
ANT_HOME/lib in order for things to work properly.  Putting it in a custom 
build.xml specified classpath doesn't cut it.  Were you actually able to 
run the unit tests with JUnit jar in WEB-INF/jars and only reference via 
the custom build.xml classpath?  Try commenting that back out and put the 
JUnit jar in ANT_HOME/lib.  That is really where it should go anyway.  Let 
me know if the tests run properly.  Sorry, I have no experience using Ant 
or Barracuda with IBM's JDK and haven't used Sun's JDK 1 3.x for quite a 
while.  I currently use j2sdk1.4.1_01.

BTW, you are right to have downloaded Ant-1.5.1.  That is required for the 
current CVS and you were also right to replace the XercesImpl.jar with the 
Xerces that comes with Barracuda.  In j2sdk1.4.x you could solve the Xerces 
issue by leaving the ones that come with Ant alone and just put 
Xerces-1.4.1-xmlc-2.1.jar in JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/endorsed.
