I have now added a section in the junitlauncher task's manual
The section's titled "Using the classpath element to include test engines".

to include an example which shows how to setup the classpath element
to include thetestengines. The document isn't live yet but can be
found in its raw form here[1].
I'm not 100% sure if this is what you were after, so feel free to
reply with details if there's something else you are looking for.

HelloLucas,

However, when attempting to do this I run into an issue with
ClassLoaders.
JUnitLauncherTask.execute() [2] sets the thread's ClassLoader to its
own or
to an AntClassLoader, both of which do not contain the junit
TestEngine's
Which test engine are you using and where are the jars for those
located? The vintage and the jupiter test engines (part of JUnit 5)
or any test engine for that matter, can be placed in the ANT_HOME/lib
directory and they should be picked up. Or you can pass the -lib
option while launching Ant to pass the location of those jars. These
methods have been noted in the documentation of the task[1]
Our previous way of getting around this was to create our own
ClassLoader
with the required TestEngines and set this to the current thread's
ClassLoader to ensure that the TestEngines are found [4].
This technique no longer works for the JUnitLauncherTask as it
resets the
ClassLoader right before executing the tests. Does anyone have a
suggestion
on how to resolve this issue?
The way JUnit 5 works, it uses the thread context classloader to find
the test engines (and even test cases). That's why the
JUnitLauncherTask sets it up in a manner that the right classloader
is setup before executing the tests.
I looked at the customer classloader you pointed to, in your
footnotes. How was that being setup in the Ant build, previously?
Overall, if I understand your question correctly - you do not want to
add the *test engines* to the ANT_HOME/lib and neither do you want to
pass the -lib option while launching Ant and instead want to define a
classpath in your build file and use that classpath for finding the
test engines? If that's the case, then yes it's currently a
limitation (one that which Stefan had rightly brought up very early
in the dev cycle of this task). I do plan to tackle this in a better
way, but given the complexity involved with classloaders (both due to
the nature of JUnit 5 and Ant itself) and the fact that I lost focus
on this task for a bit, I haven't been able to come up with a
solution. I'll look more into this in the upcoming days and see how
we can improve this.
If I misunderstood your use case, please do let us know.
