I can confirm that ant-junit.jar is present: $ pwd /usr/local/apache-ant-1.8.0/lib $ ls -l ant-junit.jar -rw-r--r-- 1 stharms everyone 12736 May 2 11:10 ant-junit.jar Here are the jar's contents: jar tf ant-junit.jar |more META-INF/ META-INF/MANIFEST.MF org/ org/apache/ org/apache/tools/ org/apache/tools/ant/ org/apache/tools/ant/taskdefs/ org/apache/tools/ant/taskdefs/optional/ org/apache/tools/ant/taskdefs/optional/junit/ org/apache/tools/ant/taskdefs/optional/junit/xsl/ org/apache/tools/ant/taskdefs/optional/junit/xsl/junit-frames.xsl org/apache/tools/ant/taskdefs/optional/junit/xsl/junit-noframes.xsl > Since you are new to java, you may not know that you can open up any jar with > a zip tool, like Winzip or winrar.
