Running junit tests fails
When I try to run the junit tests on the code checked out from CVS
HEAD, I get a failure because ant cannot create task or type of type:
junit. I do not know anything about junit. I had hoped this target
would run out of the box.
What should I do to make it work?

That's what I said: they compile in everything officially
supported. That's why we run with a customized ant.jar for
some time.

I have no idea. We might get the LotBC stuff into the
Maven repo, but downloading Jimi requires accepting a
license, and JAI requires downloading a platform
specific distro and running a native installer with
all kind of whistles an bells (in particular, possibly
requiring root/Admin rights).
We can, of course, resort do manual download+install and
simply check presence. This should work well with JAI.
Jimi is ... more complicated, because it's just a jar,
which wont fit the Maven repository. Maybe the old default
location of <fop-base-dir>/lib is still the best.
For detecting Jimi/JAI/whatever, we have to supply
some sort of Maven plugin, perhaps a Jelly script.
Anybody out there with enough time at hand and willing
to dive deeper into this?

Just had a look at the Ant binary optional.jar. It's got everything but
the kitchen sink, including the junit stuff.
Would Maven cover the Jimi/JAI/Crypto stuff for us?

The ant jar in the FOP CVS was a bit customized: Keiron moved
the xslt task into ant.jar and omitted optional.jar completely.
I vaguely remember someone upgradesd the ant jars somewhere
(HEAD or maintenance, don't recall). In any case, somebody stuck
with an earlier FOP checkout might have problems...

There is, however, the inconvenience called "FOP task" somewhere,
which needs to refer to ant jars for compilation. I believe we
need to fumble a bit with build.xml in order to get ant.jar into
the classpath for this. I even believe the java file is currently
unconditionally compiled, which seems unprudent.

That's not necessary if people install a proper binary ant distro.
It's somewhat like the FOP binary distro: we provide a pre-built
jar offering Jimi, JAI and crypto support, something which people
building FOP from source not necessarily get.

I did that and it works fine.
Until now I have been confused about ant. That may have been caused by
the embedded ant jar files in many projects, and their possible
incompatibility. That makes that you rely on their build script, and
do not think about it. I every project requires one to obtain and
install a reasonably recent ant, and avoids incompatibilities with
that, a developer quickly gets up to speed with it. Similarly with
adding junit or other supporting packages.
Building C projects seems easy: ./configure, make, make_install. But
that is only the case if the whole tool chain is present in the
system. The same here. Having to have ant and junit seems a reasonable
requirement, provided no project requires one to have their own ever
so slightly tweaked embedded version.

Nope. With the Ant installation (binary, I've never had to build Ant
myself, yet) you get a fully operational optional.jar with has a usable
JUnit task as soon as you have junit.jar in %ANT_HOME%/lib.
Building FOP (HEAD) without "embedded" Ant goes like this:
- Install Ant binary distribution
- set the ANT_HOME environment variable
- extend you PATH variable with %ANT_HOME%\bin
- Download JUnit and put the junit-<version>.jar into %ANT_HOME%\lib (if
you want to run the testcases)
- Download FOP from CVS
- go to the xml-fop directory and run "ant" or "./ant.sh"

I seem to recall that one has to build ant for the particular set of
optional facilities that one wants. Does this ring a bell for anyone?
From the manual:
<
Make sure you have downloaded any auxiliary jars required to build tasks
you are interested in. These should either be available on the CLASSPATH
or added to the lib directory. See Library Dependencies for a list of
jar requirements for various features. Note that this will make the
auxiliary jars available for the building of Ant only. For running Ant
you will still need to make the jars available as described under
Installing Ant.
/>
These seem to be in addition to optional.jar.
I think it points to the fact that we will have to provide a custom ant
build, optional.jar and library dependencies, including junit.jar.

Looks like it. Please download the latest Ant release and install it
following Ant's installation instructions. Then use ant.bat/ant.sh to
build FOP and not build.bat. Ant can be found at http://ant.apache.org.
I've heard that best practice is not to bundle Ant with a project but to
make an Ant installation a requirement on every machine someone wants to
build Java projects on. Looks like we hit one of the reasons for this
best practice here. I'll raise that point on fop-dev.
Sorry for the trouble caused. I was the one to introduce JUnit tests in
the build.xml for HEAD.

junit-3.8.1.jar is the lib subdirectory of the checked out
distribution. The build script declares this directory to be
ANT_HOME. When I put the junit jar file there, the JUnit support was
recognized.
The build script does not add the junit jar file to the
LOCALCLASSPATH. But when I did that it made no difference.
Ant's failure message mentions optional.jar. I do not have that
because it does not come with the checkout. Could that be the cause?
I run Sun's java version "1.4.2_01" on linux.

Re: Running junit tests fails

junit.jar is sufficient. The jar should be placed in %ANT_HOME%/lib. Use
JUnit 3.8.1 or later to be sure.
The JUnit task is included in Ant's optional.jar but only works if
junit.jar is present in %ANT_HOME%/lib.
Actually, I don't understand why the JUnit suport is recognized but the
test cases don't work.

I don't know, you may want to submit that to the junit list.

Ive added the junit.jar, there is also a test.jar and a src.jar in my
junit directory (no lib sub dir though!)
The junit.present condition in the build.xml file doesnt let you procced
without the junit.jar. However, I'm not sure if junit.jar contains the
ant task definition.

I get the same thing, but I also dont know how to solve it. Looking in
