junit.jar needs declaring? and upcoming dep checking system
Hi,
If we require junit.jar in Ant's lib/ directory, why do we need users to
declare it in ant.properties files? Won't junit.jar be picked up from
the system classpath?
I'm halfway through a really cool dependency checking system. Type 'ant'
anywhere, and it will recursively build required components (if they
need building), or print a message stating what needs to be declared (or
do a HTTP GET to retrieve the jar). Works from CVS components and for
isolated components. Will finish it tomorrow..

That is easy to test with
<available classname="junit.framework.TestCase" property="junit.present"/>
Rather than testing for the presence of the jar in a relative place.

This sounds like it is exactly what I think we should have. Respect.
