[platform-releng-dev] Changes to accomodate using JUnit4 in the Eclipse

[Kim Moir <Kim_Moir@xxxxxxxxxx>]

DJ and I have been testing changes to
the Eclipse Test Framework so our tests can run on Junit 4 instead of Junit
3.  Last week we had a successful build from our test branch where
all tests passed.  

On Thursday November 19, I'd like to
merge the changes into HEAD and and run a full test build. Most of the
changes are to the manifests of the test bundles to specify a only lower
bound for org.junit for version 3.8.2.  There are a few code changes
as well, which have been tested. Below is a list of the bundles that require
changes, as well a link to a bug with a patch that encompasses all these
changes.  

I'd like to ask the teams to review
the changes that apply to their bundles and update the bug if you see any
issues.  I'd like to start the test build at 8am on Thursday.  If
you would like to release the changes after 1am but  before 8am EST
on Thursday, that would be great, otherwise I would be happy to release
them for you.    Please don't release any changes before Thursday
morning because the build will fail.
