I would suggest a completely new task (or tasks) and that the jar file is *not* supplied with stock Ant. That way we could get round the nasty problem we've currently got of requiring JUnit's jar file to be in the lib directory to get a stock Ant install to work. JUnitReport *may* be able to go unchanged - not sure. I've a sneaking suspicion that there are changes between JUnit4 and JUnit3 in terms of what it can record - there are ignored tests, but there's no longer a difference between errors and failures. That's just a memory though, it could be wrong. I don't know how much work is involved in creating a new JUnit4 task or tasks, but I'm happy to contribute when I have time. I'm not currently working on JUnit4 tests, but I'm bound to at some time - and it would be great if Ant supported it at that point! I can't imagine it's *that* hard. I may not have enough time to do it all myself, but I'd be happy to work on it with someone else. I'm also already on the JUnit-devel mailing list - I'm happy to act as a conduit, as it were.
