Hi :)

> But why are there so many deprecated messages?

I think the driver implements many methods defined in JDBC2.0 which are
deprecated in JDBC3.0, and since you are copmpiling with jdk 1.4 (which
includes the JDBC3.0 interfaces per default), you get the deprecation
warnings.

Could be that ant doesn't find the junit.jar file...
Copy junit.jar into ANT_HOME/lib and see if it works: it did for me...

Hope this helps
