I dont think you should be using development versions of junit with Ant. I hate it when projects rely on unreleased CVS versions of other products. You may accidently change a file that means that it is incompatable with old junit - thus breaking everyone elses builds. If you just want to use ant with junit then that is fine because the junit.jars will not be placed into install director. Thus you won't get conflict there. Same holds for other libraries. Developing from particular unreleased version of other libraries and not putting them in CVS/well known place is a crime that I think should be outlawed ;) Cheers, Pete *-----------------------------------------------------* | "Faced with the choice between changing one's mind, | | and proving that there is no need to do so - almost | | everyone gets busy on the proof." | | - John Kenneth Galbraith | *-----------------------------------------------------*
