Try forking your unit test. <junit fork="true" />. Ant does it's best to simulate running the junit test as if they had been started from the command line (using the normal JDK system class loader), can only do so much, especially when it comes to XML parsers. Forking gives your tests a much cleaner classloader environment. --DD
