Next question is if check-javahl should be available at all if --with-junit is missing or if check-javahl should make sure RunTests is built. Either way, I think it is a bug in the build system. This question should probably be carved out to its own e-mail thread. I'll try to figure something out and start a new thread. Kind regards, Daniel
