I have yet another version of the infamous "Could not create task
of type: junit" problem.
So far the story goes:
1. I'm using Sun JDK1.3.0_02, Ant 1.3 [1], and JUnit 3.5 [2],
running on Debian Linux.
2. I have both optional.jar and junit.jar in the class path,
and have verified this with "ant -debug".
(They are in $ANT_HOME/lib)
3. I have verified that optional.jar contains the JUnit classes.
4. I have checked the default.properties in ant.jar, and it
contains a row for junit. The corresponding class exists in
optional.jar.
Note in the debug output below that ant doesn't seem to find the
junit task. (junitreport, however, is found.) Thus, the target
unit.server does not get any tasks.
Tha last message from [null] makes me wonder if the binary release
is misconfigured, but the default.properties seems ok. Besides, there's
no bin/bootstrap for me to run.
What is it that I have missed?
Regards,
Anders

[null] Could not create task of type: junit Common solutions are
adding the task to defaults.properties and executing bin/bootstrap
BUILD FAILED
/home/ah/work/main/corebuild/corebuild.xml:72: Could not create task of
type: junit. Common solutions are to use taskdef to declare your task, or,
if this is an optional task, to put the optional.jar in the lib directory
of your ant installation (ANT_HOME).
