Description

Hivebuild causes troubles under Linux because it tries to copy junit-3.8.1.jar to ${ant.home}/lib. Usually this directory is not writable for regular users. In addition the jar-files xml-apis.jar and xercesImpl.jar might not exist in ${ant.home}/lib.

So I have written a small patch that should improve the situation for Linux users.

The build process on Windows should not be affected. But Linux users can now specify the JUnit directory and the location of related jar-files in hivebuild/module.properties.

Please review and apply the attached patch if possible.
