I think the initial issue was that ant was unable to locate the junit jar file which is why it was complaining about the classes not existing. I'd certainly be willing to try and use the updated classes/methods and replacing the deprecated ones. I built it on Java 7, but I have the Java 8 JDK as well and wouldn't have any problem with building/testing it on Java 8. I can't help with the OS X builds as I don't have a Mac and am pretty much clueless on how they operate. Now, for the binaries, I could probably build and distribute them. I'm not 100% certain on how the build process for this project actually goes, but *I think* it is platform/architecture dependent (it appears that the build creates the necessary libraries and links to them at compile time). The 64 bit Windows and Linux binaries wouldn't be a problem. I don't have any 32-bit systems set up currently, but it wouldn't be much of a task to set up 32-bit VM's for building them. I need to make the changes I made to the code more... universal. As it is now, the path to the junit jar file in the eclipse project setup has an absolute path in my home directory. I need to see if variables can be used to get the relative path instead. I also need to check the junit licensing to see if it is permitted to distribute the jar files with the source code of the project (which may be why guardianproject does not distribute them with theirs). A few things to check up on, but I'll certainly look into it and then if the changes look good, I'll get in touch with the guys from guardianproject and see about submitting a pull request if they feel the changes are a benefit to the project. -- Antony Prince Key ID: 0xAF3D4087301B1B19 Fingerprint: 591FF17F7A4AA8D0F659C482AF3D4087301B1B19 URL: https://keyserver.blazrsoft.com
