Attaching a patch which extracts the creation of the Test Framework into a separate ant build file (build-testframework.xml). Change the ant, m1 and m2 builds to all use the same ant build file to create the test framework jar.

What's the status of this one Niall? I saw you'd applied part of it.

I applied all of the patch - so AFAIC its done:

http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=638061

Running the three builds (ant, m1 & m2) the source/target options used are inconsistent:

• Ant: doesn't use any source/target options when compiling, but has 1.2 in the jar's manifest for X-Compile-Source-JDK/X-Compile-Target-JDK (hard coded in src/conf/MANIFEST.MF)
• m1: uses 1.3/1.1 values for source/target options
• m2: uses 1.3/1.3 values for source/target options

IMO we should just use 1.3 for both source/target as1.2 is so old I see no reason to attempt to support it (anyone wanting 1.2 compataible versions will have to stay on an older release)

I'll check to see if we compile on 1.2 still, and maybe 1.1 too if I get that installed. Then we can have the info to make the decision.

Doesn't look like I'm going to do that in fact. I'm fine with doing 1.3 and have committed that in r707529.
