I've added a note to AntDevelopmentSystem requiring it > for the test target. Al, I have commented out the FROG test target, since all it does is start up FROG. This doesn't prove much, and it has the additional disadvantages that (1) it never returns, so the global test target can't complete and (2) it fails in a headless environment. If you want to reinstate this as a JUnit-based unit test or add other unit tests, feel free, as long as it doesn't do (1) or (2) above.
