How to correctly import the jUnit classpath into an Ant buildfile on OS X

Question

Hi,-
I'm trying to automate compilation with Ant & jUnit which I run from command-line on my Mac OS X. My source files are in the /src folder, test classes are in the /test folder, the .class files go into the /build folder, and junit38.jar is in the /lib folder. The build.xml file looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project name="Money" default="build-source" basedir=".">
    <description>The Money project build file.</description>
    <property name="src" location="."/>
    <property name="build" location="build"/>
    <property name="junit" location="lib/junit38.jar"/>
    <path id="_classpath">
        <pathelement location="${junit}"/>
        <pathelement location="${build}"/>
    </path>
    <target name="prepare">
        <mkdir dir="${build}"/>
    </target>
    <target name="build-source" depends="prepare" description="compile the source ">
        <javac srcdir="${src}" destdir="${build}"/>
    </target>
    <target name="test" depends="build-source">
        <javac srcdir="${test}" destdir="${build}"/>
    </target>
</project>When I try to import jUnit with these declarations:
import org.junit.* ;
import static org.junit.Assert.* ;
public class MoneyTester {
}it says "package org.junit does not exist" and I can't extend the TestCase class with my own test classes. Can anyone tell how to properly set the jUnit classpath?
Much appreciated! Cheers, Vahagn

I see what you mean. It now looks like this, but the error won't go away:
    <target name="build-source" depends="prepare" description="compile the source ">
        <javac srcdir="${src}" destdir="${build}">
            <classpath refid="_classpath"/>
        </javac>
    </target>
    <target name="test" depends="build-source">
        <javac srcdir="${test}" destdir="${build}">
            <classpath refid="_classpath"/>
        </javac>
    </target>Edited by: Vahagn on Aug 14, 2010 11:59 AM
