Bryan Pendleton commented on DERBY-6164:
----------------------------------------

I thought that the ant build scripts were supposed to download the junit.jar automatically, using the Maven repositories.

Can you thoroughly check the results of your build steps and see if you can determine whether this step failed or not?

I think the target is called 'install_junit'.

> This year's edition of Google Summer of Code includes, once again, the Apache Software Foundation.
> For the Derby project, I'm offering to mentor a student on the tasks described here.
> For this project, you are required to have some basic knowledge of JUnit and of how code coverage works.
> Currently some packages of Derby have poor code coverage. Emma defines the minimum acceptable code coverage as 70% and some engineers suggest a minimum of 80% is desired. 
> Students are invited to look at [1] to get familiar with Emma's code coverage reports on Derby. 
> The Derby project conducted this effort last year, and substantial improvements were made.
> We are looking to continue this process this year, as there are still areas of the Derby code base where code coverage could be substantially improved.
> The candidate students are also expected to come up with their own schedule for the tests they plan on creating and to discuss this schedule publicly on the mailing list. 
> After a student applies, a small interview will be conducted via email as part of the ASF's evaluation process.
