Dependencies should be solved by the specification of BuildRequires statements 
in the SPEC file, so the build system will install the packages which are 
required 
to build a package before the build will be start.

Sorry, I'm talking about the official build system of the Fedora projejct and
the download of data during the build process may a violatation of the 
packaging policies.

Using of pre-built JAR files in a package is also a violation of the packaging 
policy which state that all stuff should be built from soruce.

Because it's looks like, thest test.gnerative may be a speicial JAR file
for Clojure, the best way may to include it into the official Clojure
soruce pacakge.

In the meanwhile, I have found a way to suppres the test step in the
ant script.
