Error: package junit.framework. does not exist

Question

Hello All,
BACKGROUND: I am attempting to "test" a simple program using JUnit 4.1 and Sun's App Server 9, where I have a bean calling a method on a remote component bean.
My program errors because it says that the junit classes do not exist for my import statement (import junit.framework.*;). I placed the junit-4.1.jar in the classpath by adding this path where it resides to the system's CLASSPATH and PATH variables (%JUNIT_HOME%\junit-4.1.jar.........where juint_home = C:\junit4.1).
QUESTION: Could there be a versioning issue? Do I need to place something else in the classpath? Is there some other issue?
Details:
1. I tested a junit class in the command promt to make sure that it was in the classpath by typing javap junit.framework.TestCase, and it reported the back the API instead of an error...so the junit jar file is on the classpath.
2. I copied and pasted the junit jar files in the same folder as my source files to make sure that it was on the class path and I still received that error.
Thanks

junit.framework is a package in junit.jar. You will need this in the path that you pass to your compile step, you need something like this:
<path id="class.path">
          <pathelement location="${dest}" />
          <fileset dir="${lib}" includes="*.jar" />
          <pathelement location="${extras}/junit/junit.jar" />
     </path>and then you use that in your compile:
     <target name="compile" depends="init">
          <javac classpathref="class.path" destdir="${dest}/classes" srcdir="${src}"  debug="true" />
     </target>of course if you want to run the tests from ant you may need to include the jar file for optional ant junit task in ant's library if its not already there.
