Hi Jake, It works fine with that approach. However, I am interested in creating a junit task which is the clean way of doing this. I have followed the suggestions for creating the task and I get this error "could n't findf junit/framework/TestListener" although I have put the junit.jar in the classpath. Why the loader fails to find the junit.jar which contains the class?
Thanks, Ajaya -----Original Message----- From: Jacob Kjome [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 29, 2004 11:33 AM To: Ant Users List Subject: Re: Unable to create junit task with ant 1.6.2 & junit3.8.1 The JUnit task is located in ANT_HOME/lib. If you want to use the JUnit task without putting junit.jar in ANT_HOME/lib or $user.home/.ant/lib, then you'll have to remove the junit task from ANT_HOME/lib and added manually to your classpath just as you are manually adding junit.jar to your classpath. Short answer, both the junit task and library need to be loaded in the same classloader. I always put jars required by tasks that come with Ant in $user.home/.ant/lib so that when I upgrade Ant, I don't have to worry about remembering not to delete extra jars added to ANT_HOME/lib.
