Right. ANT_OPTS is only used to start the "main" Ant VM.

That's what you need to do indeed.

That's what fork=true does, by default. The <junit> task itself is not
forked. It forks the tests with a little bit of the Ant runtime for a
custom JUnit TestRunner.

Don't mix test suites with <batchtest>. look at the new forkMode
attribute of Ant 1.6.2. You want the default of perTest. --DD
