0.7.0 kind of hard to install

[Chris Lukas]

Not to be a pain about alpha version stuff, but the v.7.0 is all bugged up and can't really be installed. I tried to first just use the library but got exceptions internal to the library so I tried to compile it along with my code to see if I could debug it. The import's don't really refer to the right places and so forth -- for example
import junit.framework.*;

It just doesn't exist in jcommon0.5.2 or anywhere else.

There seem to be some other bugs causing it to not work at all -- anyway if someone has some insight I'd be happy to compile and try to debug them because i think it's a cool library.

Hi Chris,

The JCommon source code includes some test cases that make use of the JUnit testing framework. If you want to recompile these test cases then you need to have the junit.jar file (which is in the jars folder in the JCommon download, or you can download it from http://www.junit.org).

But if you leave out the source files in the three packages:

com.jrefinery.data.junit
com.jrefinery.date.junit
com.jrefinery.junit

...then there *should* be no dependency on junit.jar.
