Bug#967933: ant-optional: Missing ant-junitlauncher.jar

[Matthijs Kooijman]

Package: ant-optional
Version: 1.10.6-1ubuntu0.1
Severity: normal

Hi,

I'm trying to run junit-based tests for the JOSM application using ant,
which does not work out of the box. The error I'm getting is:

  build.xml:491: The following error occurred while executing this line:
  build.xml:442: Problem: failed to create task or type junitlauncher
  Cause: the class org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.junitlauncher.confined.JUnitLauncherTask was not found.

Which suggests the org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.junitlauncher.confined package is
missing, which was added in ant 1.10.6 [1].

I'm not entirely familiar with this ecosystem, but I *think* this
package is supplied by upstream (the java sources are present in the
Debian source package) and should result in an ant-junitlauncher.jar
file, which I think should be shipped in the ant-optional Debian
package. However, that jar is not contained in any Debian package
AFAICS.

It seems there is an explicit whitelist of jar/pom files to install, and
this new jar was probably forgotten when it was added upstream?

Note that I tested on a slightly older Ubuntu version, but it seems the
newest Debian version has the same problem.

If my analysis is correct, could you make the changes so
ant-junitlauncher is included?

Gr.

Matthijs
