I got this error too - I was not using the fork option. It worked when I
turned on the fork=yes option.
I think the error is due to junit not being on the ant vm classpath - its
only added in for fork'ed jobs.
So, you should be able to get it to work by amending your build script to
include the optional.jar in the class path.
Hope this helps,
Chris
