Hi Greg, to be honest, I hardly see any reason of *not* placing junit.jar in $ANT_HOME/lib as it saves a lot of fuss. Anyway, here are some more ways, that prevents from moving files in and out distribution: 1) You can place junit.jar (and all third party jars required by ant optional task) in use

Thanks for the clarification, Vadim! Your suggestion works perfectly. My script now does exactly what I want it to do. Also, I am using optional tasks only when no core tasks are available that do what I need, i.e. scp and sshexec. That seems like the best possible approach to me. Thanks again!

This is because you're are setting these variables in an antcall. Which does not actually propogate up those properties. You could check out the antcallback task in ant-contrib. That will do what you want also see the recent thread about returning values from antcallback. __
