Bug#157696: ant: <junit><batchtest> attempts to run tests in abstract classes

[Emmanuel Bourg]

This issue was also filed in the Ant bug tracker:

https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20547

I don't think this issue should be fixed in Debian if it isn't changed 
in Ant first, otherwise it would be possible to create non repeatable 
builds (an ant build that would work on Debian but fail on Windows or 
OSX for example).

It's quite easy to work around this issue, the abstract tests can be 
named *AbstractTest and then simply excluded from the batchtest, for 
example:

     <junit>
       <batchtest todir="${build}/classes/test">
         <fileset dir="${build}/classes/test">
           <include name="**/**Test.class" />
           <exclude name="**/*AbtractTest.class" />
         </fileset>
       </batchtest>
     </junit>


For these reasons I suggest to close this bug.
