Re: [platform-releng-dev] Does anyone know if org.eclipse.ant.optional.j

["David M Williams" <david_williams@xxxxxxxxxx>]

This fragment is very obviously required
by our Test Framework. Sorry to cause churn in tonight's tests. (I think
none will complete). 
And, sorry I forgot the bug number in
the first post, but for more details, see 
Bug 485620- Clarification on the purpose of org.eclipse.ant.optional.junit

I have reverted the temporary "removal".

Does anyone know if        org.eclipse.ant.optional.junit
is needed/used in tests?

Specifically,  org.eclipse.ant.optional.junit_3.3.100.v20140518-1929.jar
is being "packaged" into our "test repo". 

Oddly enough, while it is in our Git Repo, I can not find anyplace that
lists it as a <module>. My guess is it get's pulled in via some maven
repo, or something, during the "assembly tasks". It is listed
in the test framework feature and is installed during "performance
tests" (but not unit tests, I don't believe). 

And, while I am pretty sure no one needs it for "current stuff",
I know sometimes we continue to test "old projects" just to make
sure they still work. But, if that's the case here, I wonder if it is now
"old enough" that we no longer need to test it. 

Unless there is a quick objection, I will try removing it, and see if there
is any change to the number of "test failures" in the nightly
build. If not, I'd say safe to leave it out. If so, I will revert while
we have a longer discussion, and decide after M6.
