It's a general rule of tasks found in optional.jar... Their dependencies need to be in $ANT_HOME/lib! Ant is trying to do away with that requirement thanks to antlib's, but it's not there yet (AFAIK).
As about JUnit 3.8 (recently released), it removed deprecated methods (like TestCase#name, replaced by TestCase#getName and accompanied by the new #setName method), and also changed the API of BaseTestRunner (breaking backward compatibility right there!), so it's not surprising it might not work with Ant 1.4.1 released more than a year earlier JUnit 3.8 was. Hope that helps too. --DD -----Original Message----- From: Jacob Kjome [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, August 28, 2002 1:47 PM To: Ant Users List Subject: Re[2]: LinkageError while running junit task Hello Dominique, I have also noticed that JUnit needs to be loaded into the classpath at the same time as the optional.jar...meaning that if optional.jar is in $ANT_HOME/lib, that is where the JUnit.jar needs to be. Also, it seems that JUnit-3.8 only works with Ant-1.5+ and not Ant-1.4.1.
