RE: [Junitdoclet-users] Re: JUnit 3.8.1

[Matt R. <ma...@ra...>]

I have no specific reason for wanting 3.8.1 - I just saw a message
yesterday (can't seem to find it now) that some syntax had changed in
3.8.1 and tests were easier to write now.  Just wondering so I could
answer this question if it ever does come up.  I'm writing a sample app
that demonstrates using Xdoclet, Struts, JUnitDoclet, Cactus and other
tools to build a webapp and test it.
