dint=Integrate[BesselJ[0, x]BesselJ[0, t - x], {x, 0, t}]

Mathematica (5.2) returns unevaluated the integral.

However the result is actually Sin[t].

Out[79]=

0.453948,0.974842}

Any ideas to show dint is equal to sin(t)?
By hand this can be proved by the convolution theorem
of the LaplaceTransform.
