[osmosis-dev] some tests failed on Gentoo (may be because of wrong CLASSPATH)

hmm, that is interesting... In your original post, you said you were 
trying to build 0.39. However, org.openstreetmap.osmosis.testutil was 
introduced just over a month ago, well after 0.39 was released.

May it be that

$ git clone git://... osmosis
$ cd osmosis && git checkout 0.39

creates a mixup of old and new sources which - naturally - don't mix 
well? It's doing that here on my machine, somehow, and I had to be very 
careful in getting a 0.39 tree to get it to build _at all_. After I 
managed to get a clean 0.39, however, it built and passed all trees.

Hope that helps
Igor
