i know somehow not including junit.jar build, should being included because of in path id, , @ wits end wrong.

thank in advance

the <javac> task creates tests needs classpath:

<javac srcdir="${test}" destdir="${build.test}" classpathref="junit.class.path" /> 

by way, following doesn't right:

<junit printsummary="on" fork="true" haltonfailure="yes">     <classpath>         <classpath refid="junit.class.path" />         <pathelement location="${build.test}" />         <formatter type="plain" />         <batchtest todir="${test.report}">             <fileset dir="${test}">                 <include name="**/*test*.java" />             </fileset>         </batchtest>     </classpath> </junit> 

the <formatter> , <batchtest> elements shouldn't nested under <classpath>. should directly under <junit>. should more like:

<junit printsummary="on" fork="true" haltonfailure="yes">     <classpath>         <classpath refid="junit.class.path" />         <pathelement location="${build.test}" />     </classpath>     <formatter type="plain" />     <batchtest todir="${test.report}">         <fileset dir="${test}">             <include name="**/*test*.java" />         </fileset>     </batchtest> </junit>
