Download Junit and Hamcrest in ./bootstrap?
Hi
If you've been checking the buildbots you'll see that all who don't use
--without-junit are currently broken in ./configure due to junit being too
old. This is unlikely to change, as the buildslaves are running Ubuntu
10.04 which doesn't have newer versions of Junit available in apt.
This is part of a bigger problem, which is that Junit's dependencies
changed multiple times in the 4.x releases, which is why I changed
configure.ac to need at least 4.11 (the maximum being 4.12).
Instead of needing a correct system Junit version to run tests during the
build, and having to worry about having correct system versions of Hamcrest
on the classpath, should we not rather treat them like external
dependencies and download specific versions during ./bootstrap? It's under
300 kB for both, and the bvt/fvt/pvt tests already download their own copy.

Unzipping 4.11's JAR and running "file *" on some class files gives this:
ResultPrinter.class: compiled Java class data, version 49.0 (Java 1.5)
TestRunner.class: compiled Java class data, version 49.0 (Java 1.5)
package-info.class: compiled Java class data, version 49.0 (Java 1.5)

+1. It would also be a major improvement to use 1.7's AutoCloseable and
try-with-resources to control UNO object lifetimes instead of relying on
garbage collection or explicit calls to dispose().

The FreeBSD port of OpenOffice 4.1.2 works with java 1.8. The only
problem that I know if related to using 1.8 to build is that that after
installation it will only work with 1.8. If you build with 1.7, then
you can use either 1.7 or 1.8 on the machine where OpenOffice is
installed.

That sounds good to me as well, but are there any issues with installing
a newer jdk on older Linux distributions that we still support?

This would be OK with me. What version of the jre does Junit 4.11
require? I can't find information about this on the junit site
--http://junit.org/junit4/
Right now, we're still spec'd at jdk 1.6 for everything except Windows,
but IMO we should advance to 1.7 .

I think I did this because at the time, all the buildbots were failing
with this additional requirement, and I just wanted to get back to using
whatever version of Junit was supplied by default on the build systems --
probably a lower version than what you had spec'd as I recall. We had been
adequately testing with Junit 4.12 once upon a time which is what I had in
my config options without the additional explicit Hamcrest version and what
successfully allowed for testing with Junit 4.12. It seems most installs of
Junit already have SOME Hamcrest available without explicitly using this
requirement.

Hi Kay
Why did you delete hamcrest from configure.ac in r1757861?
It's essential: (recent) Junit doesn't work without it, and at least
subsequent tests can't run!
I will be adding it back soon if there are no objections.

I will work with infra on getting these installed on the Linux buildbots
we're using. I don't think trying to build/load them locally would be
very easy really. I ran through the tests using command line
instructions from:
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/QA/test_automation_guide
We really do need this testing, and I don't see any tests set up for
Base, so we need to work on that.

We can request installation of packs on the buildbot but they need to be
in the form of deb packages.
I found hamcrest here: https://mirror.hmc.edu/ubuntu/pool/main/libh/
and junit4 here: https://mirror.hmc.edu/ubuntu/pool/main/j/junit4/
from Ubuntu repos. @Damjan: can you provide a combination that would work?

Do we know if the current buildbots have ANY version of Junit or
Hamcrest installed? As near as I could determine, our "last" published
version requirement for Junit was junit-4.10:

Or, it might be better to request direct access to the buildbots for
this kind of installation.

I think it would be misleading because of the directory name. Dragging
in extra dependencies just to build the .jar files seems like a waste.
Downloading everything to one directory would make life easier, so it is
too bad about the name.
The description for OOO Extras on Sourceforge says this:
A space to store classic OOo dependencies that cannot be easily
redistributed in Apache OpenOffice's SVN tree,
Initially this was meant for copyleft tarballs only but it is also
pretty handy to mirror other file dependencies.
Since ext_sources isn't distributed in the source archives for
releases, checking even non-copyleft source tarballs into svn under that
directory only helps people who are building from sources checkout out
via svn.

Sadly it's not that simple: Junit builds with Maven, and Hamcrest with
Gradle.
Is it ok to download the binaries, or is only source code allowed under
ext_sources?

That's fine with me as long as it is still an option to use the system
version as long as it is recent enough.
