'ant test' fails on revision 577032

[Harry Mangalam <ha...@uci.edu>]

The worst kind of report - from both a Java & SOLR newbie (I know - 
what am I doing here?)

In trying to make Eric Pugh's Rich Document parser work (targetted to 
v 1.3):

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-284

I checked out the current 1.3 tree and in the process of verifying 
that it was OK, tried most of the ant targets.
ant clean, compile, example, package, and dist worked fine, but 'ant 
test' failed with:
===
compileTests:

junit:

BUILD FAILED
/home/hjm/code/solr/solr_1.3/build.xml:426: Could not create task or 
type of type: junit.

Ant could not find the task or a class this task relies upon.

This is common and has a number of causes; the usual
solutions are to read the manual pages then download and
install needed JAR files, or fix the build file:
 <etc>
===
I have junit version 3.8.1 installed.  Eric mentioned that there was a 
recent build problem - is this an example of that problem or is this 
a case of monumental Java ignorance on my part? (I can waste cycles 
in Perl, Python, bash, C, etc, just not Java).

JUnit by itself isn't enough .. you also need the junit ant task which 
typically comes in a jar called "ant-junit.jar" ...
http://ant.apache.org/manual/OptionalTasks/junit.html

Note: Junit 3.8.1 is pretty old ... it might work with Solr's test but i'm 
not positive .. try it, if you get test compilation errors you may want 
to try JUnit4

The recent builds have had some problems with a SolrJ unit test that uses 
an embedded jetty instance to test HTTP stuff.  definitely not the same 
thing.
