Are you forking your junit task? If so, try adding ant.jar and optional.jar
to the classpath you pass to <junit>. That's what I had to do.
I suspect this isn't your problem though, since it seems to fail to
acknowlege the <junit> task at all. Go ahead and post the relevant section
of your build.xml so we can see how you've set it up.
