[Freemarker-devel] Test failures

[Attila S. <sze...@fr...>]

Running JUnit test against my yesterday changes
produces the following. I've not touched anything related to these cl=
asses,
so I guess it would fail with earlier code as well:
(BTW, I wrote a "test" Ant target in the build.xml, so you can use "a=
nt
test" to run the freemarker.testcase.FreeMarkerTestSuite)
