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.
