Description Scott M Stark 2001-04-05 20:24:18 UTC 
If I have placed the optional.jar and junit.jar files into the ant lib
directory so that I can run without these files in my CLASSPATH, I
am still required to do so when the junit task uses fork=true as the
codebase of the junit task is not included in the forked java command
line as shown below. So in order to run the forked junit task I need
the optional.jar and junit.jar in my CLASSPATH which defeats the purpose
of adding these jars to the ant lib directory.

Comment 1 Stefan Bodewig 2001-05-04 02:12:33 UTC 
I don't think we should implicitly add Ant's runtime classes to the classpath
for <junit> - some things work if you run junit forked but not if you run
things in VM, just because we don't include everything from ANT_HOME/lib (tests
that require a different XML parser for example).

If we had a way to only include the classpath entries that contain the junit
task and junit.jar itself, fine. But this may be difficult to find out - I'll 
investigate this a little.  You cannot rely on the task being defined in
optional.jar.

Finally, you should get a running fork="true" version, if you give a nested
classpath element to <junit> that contains all required classes.
