Are you "forking" the junit test? That could have an effect on the
classloader. Check the classpath that you are providing to <junit>. You
can do this by creating it first as a <path>, assigning it a refid,
generating a <property> using the refid attribute, and then <echo>'ing the
contents of the property you just set. See if the classpath contains the
resource you are looking for.
