When I looked at junit last it was to see what the base requirement for the JVM would be and I thought reflection would be required but after reading the docs I had the impression you could potentially get around not having reflection by specifying the necessary information in a file instead. No time to dig this up right now though. > The major point junit has for it, in my opinion, is > the amount of documentation surrounding it: books, > tutorials etc. It seems to be easy to find answers. > That could lower the entry barrier for fresh mauve > contributors. Yes, I think that would be the win-win scenario. Brian -- Brian Jones
