Re: JUnit crash after successful run

Ant does not distribute junit.jar, so the junit.jar file in your
$ANT_HOME/lib directory
would have been placed there independently.

With ant 1.7, the best practice is not to place a junit.jar file in
$ANT_HOME/lib.
Instead, one should use the classpath element of the junit task, and use
a project specific junit.jar.

I downloaded JUnit 4.4 from their website and replaced the 3.8.1 jar in my ant/lib directory. That seems to have fixed the problem. Is this a proper fix for my problem or is using JUnit 4.4 with ANT 1.7 a bad idea?

> I am getting a forked JVM crash for my junit task after the unit tests run successfully. I am using ANT 1.7. I found the report on bug 41104 which is similar, but I never got the FileNotFoundException as described in the bug report and I am pretty sure I don't have two different version of ANT on my classpath. If I change my junit to a java task and specify the test name as the main class and provide a main method that creates a suite(), it runs fine and the forked JVM does not crash. One thing I did notice with using a java task is that I see more output on the screen that appears to be coming from System.err. This System.err is not visible when running with junit task. Where is it going? I have tried versions of formatters and such, but I can't get the forked JVM crash to go away.
