Have you tried "testNG", it may load all these jar files once, for all the test cases. and it can be executed through ant and lots of other features.

Currently we are using this path element: <path id ="classpath.unit_test"> <pathelement path="${test.config.dir}"/> <pathelement path="${config.dir}"/> <pathelement path="${config.xml.dir}"/> <pathelement path="${classes.dir}"/> <!-- add all files in lib.dir to path --> <fileset dir="${lib.dir}"> <include name="**/*.jar"/> <include name="**/*.zip"/> </fileset> </path> This path is used in this junit element: <target name="test" > <junit > <classpath refid="classpath.unit_test"/> <test name="test1"/> <test name="test2"/> ... Timing indicates that ant is spending 30 seconds per test to walk the lib tree building the classpath. Does anyone have a solution to this problem? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
