BUILD ERROR in command line

Question

Hi, I'm taking the CDJ-310A - Developing Applications for the J2EE Platform course and have run into a problem when issuing a call to asant. When I run asant test the message it gives is "Ant could not find the task or a class this task relies upon.".The errors I get refer to the junit package.
I've check the CLASSPATH and it seams ok:
D:\labs\FJ310\bankproject>javap junit.framework.TestCase
Compiled from "TestCase.java"
public abstract class junit.framework.TestCase extends junit.framework.Assert im
plements junit.framework.Test{
public junit.framework.TestCase();
public junit.framework.TestCase(java.lang.String);
public int countTestCases();
protected junit.framework.TestResult createResult();
public junit.framework.TestResult run();
public void run(junit.framework.TestResult);
public void runBare() throws java.lang.Throwable;
protected void runTest() throws java.lang.Throwable;

protected junit.framework.TestResult createTestResult();

public junit.framework.TestResult doRun(junit.framework.Test, boolean);

public static void main(java.lang.String[]);
public junit.framework.TestResult start(java.lang.String[]) throws jav
a.lang.Exception;
protected junit.framework.TestResult runSingleMethod(java.lang.String, java.
lang.String, boolean) throws java.lang.Exception;
protected void runFailed(java.lang.String);
public void setPrinter(junit.textui.ResultPrinter);
But still these errors still are produced:

my CLASSPATH it's ok, i added the junit.jar file path there, and still does not work
Any help solving these errors would be highly appreciated. I'm stuck right now. Thanks!

my CLASSPATH variable looks like this:
.;C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\QTJava.zip;%J2EE_HOME%\lib\j2ee.jar;%PB_HOME%\lib\pbclient.jar;%JUNIT_HOME%\junit.jar;.
what's wrong? what i missed to include here? what is that ant,where can i get it, and how should i include in the CLASSPATH to be able to compile junit from command line?
Thanksdocumentation for "The asant Utility"
[https://glassfish.dev.java.net/javaee5/docs/DG/beaep.html]
which includes a link to Ant. Here's that link:

You'll need to read the manuals.
