No, not if it is not included in the release artifacts.

Generally developers are expected to already have a copy of JUnit for
testing purposes.
For Maven projects it is downloaded automatically if necessary, and
Ant projects can do the same, e.g. Tomcat uses JUnit but does not
bundle it.

If JUnit is not included in the release artifacts it must not be
mentioned in the N&L files.

I've not looked at what POI bundles; there are a lot of incorrect N&L
files around and it may be one of them.
