problem running JUnit tests with Ant in Eclipse. Beginner question - java

I'm learning these days how to use ant to run automated test folowing this tutorial.
I have JUnit in the classpath of my project. All seem to work fine and I can include it in my classes:
import junit.framework.TestCase; //line20
public class SimpleLattice1DTest extends TestCase{
...
}
My build.xml is:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project name="Ant-Test" default="compile" basedir=".">
<!-- Sets variables which can later be used. -->
<!-- The value of a property is accessed via ${} -->
<property name="src.dir" location="." />
<property name="build.dir" location="build" />
<property name="dist.dir" location="dist" />
<property name="docs.dir" location="docs" />
<property name="test.dir" location="jlife/tests" />
<property name="test.report.dir" location="test/report" />
<!-- Deletes the existing build, docs and dist directory-->
<target name="clean">
<delete dir="${build.dir}" />

</target>

<target name="makedir">

</target>
<!-- Compiles the java code (including the usage of library for JUnit -->

</target>

</fileset>
</javadoc>
</target>

</manifest>
</jar>
</target>
<!-- Run the JUnit Tests -->
<!-- Output is XML, could also be plain-->
<target name="junit" depends="compile">

<batchtest todir="${test.report.dir}">
<fileset dir="${src.dir}">
<include name="**/*Test*.java" />
</fileset>
</batchtest>
</junit>
</target>
</project>
When i run it into eclipse I get the following error:
[javac] C:\Documents and
Settings\noname\Documenti\JLife_git\JLife_git\JLife\src\jlife\tests\SimpleLattice1DTest.java:20:
package junit.framework does not exist
[javac] import junit.framework.TestCase;
I suppose there's something wrong with it, but I have no idea. Could someone put me in the right direction?

Your javac target doesn't specify anything apart from the source and target directory - it doesn't add any classpath entries; you'll need to add an entry for the appropriate JUnit jar file. See the javac task documentation for more details. You may want to specify the path to JUnit as a classpath attribute, a nested element, or a reference to a path declared elsewhere.

The eclipse classpath is separate from your ant environment. In your build file, when you call javac you need to supply a classpath attribute.
You can define the classpath at the top of the file with the rest of your properties, like this:
<path id="classpath">
<fileset dir="[path to libraries]" includes="**/*.jar" />
</path>
and then use it in each call to javac by setting the classpathref attribute, like this:
<javac srcdir="${src.dir}" destdir="${build.dir}" classpathref="classpath" />

You need to specify the directory that contains your .class files and your external jars (like junit).
e.g.
<!-- Populates a class path containing our classes and jars -->
<path id="dist.classpath">
<fileset dir="${lib}"/>
<pathelement path="${build}"/>
</path>
<!-- Compile the java code place into ${build} -->
<target name="compile" depends="-dirty" description="Compile the source.">
<javac srcdir="${source}" destdir="${build}" includeantruntime="false">
<classpath refid="dist.classpath"/>
<exclude name="${test.relative}/**/*"/>
</javac>
</target>
Here's the complete file I took that excerpt from in case you need ideas for how to setup other common things (emma, javadoc, etc)

If you observe the error stack, you will find the following line, just above the error line you mentioned...
[javac] [search path for class files: C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\lib\resource...
This line shows all the jars available in the class path for this ant target execution.
You will definitely not find the desired jar over here i.e. junit-x.x.x.jar (junit-4.8.2.jar)
Now go to eclipse -> Window -> preferences -> Ant -> Runtime -> Global Entries -> Add Jars add junit-4.8.2jar (which you will find in your project lib directory)
If you play around the Ant -> Runtime -> classpath and the classpath related error line in the error stack, you will understand the issue.
Hope this solves your problem.

Cobertura with Ant

I'm trying to run Cobertura with Ant, however always get this error in command line,

ANT/JAVA: Config to include library files in the war file

Pretty new to ANT and building using it. I have a Java-Jersey rest project and i have included the Jersey libraries under WEB-INF/lib.
I have a build.xml for building/compiling the project.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project name="Ant-Test" default="Main" basedir=".">
<!-- Sets variables which can later be used. -->
<!-- The value of a property is accessed via ${} -->
<property name="src.dir" location="src" />
<property name="lib.dir" location="" />
<property name="build.dir" location="bin" />
<!--
Create a classpath container which can be later used in the ant task
-->
<path id="build.classpath">
<fileset dir="${lib.dir}">
<include name="**/*.jar" />
</fileset>
</path>
<!-- Deletes the existing build directory-->
<target name="clean">
<delete dir="${build.dir}" />
</target>
<!-- Creates the build directory-->
<target name="makedir">
<mkdir dir="${build.dir}" />
</target>
<!-- Compiles the java code -->
<target name="compile" depends="clean, makedir">
<javac srcdir="${src.dir}" destdir="${build.dir}" classpathref="build.classpath" />
<jar destfile="${build.dir}/CrunchifyRESTJerseyExample.jar" basedir="${build.dir}"/>
<war destfile="${build.dir}/CrunchifyRESTJerseyExample.war" webxml="WebContent/WEB-INF/web.xml">
<classes dir="${build.dir}"/>
</war>
</target>
<target name="Main" depends="compile">
<description>Main target</description>
</target>
</project>
With this, i am not getting the library files in the war file. What should i add to get it in the war?.
If you take a look on the Ant war task you can specify a <lib> element with the jars that are going to be put under WEB-INF/lib folder. So try this:
<war destfile="${build.dir}/CrunchifyRESTJerseyExample.war" webxml="WebContent/WEB-INF/web.xml">
<classes dir="${build.dir}"/>
<lib dir="${lib.dir}">
<exclude name="jdbc1.jar"/> <!-- Exclude here jars you don't want -->
</lib>
</war>
Note: You should set your property at the begining of your script for the above task to work properly:
<property name="lib.dir" location="lib" /> <!-- Or whatever you call your project folder with the jars-->
try including fileset element as child of war element
<fileset dir="${home.dir}/WEB-INF/libDirectory/*">
<include name="**/*"/>
</fileset>

How to include local dependencies in my ant build

At present I have the following build.xml:
<project name="Bccn" default="help" basedir=".">
<!-- Define the properties used by the build -->
<property name="app.name" value="bccn" />
<property name="app.version" value="0.1-dev" />

<property name="work.home" value="${basedir}/work" />
<property name="dist.home" value="${basedir}/dist" />
<property name="src.home" value="${basedir}/src" />
<property name="web.home" value="${basedir}/web" />
<property name="lib.dir" value="${basedir}/lib" />
<target name="help">

</copy>
</target>
<target name="compile" depends="prepare" description="Compile Java sources and copy to WEB-INF/classes dir">

</target>
<target name="dist" depends="compile" description="Create WAR file for binary distribution">

</target>
Now I included log4j as a local dependency and want to include it when I create my .war file. However, ANT is not able to find the dependency. Is there a way to get it working? Sorry for the basic question, I am a noob at it.
Update (and thanks for the help I got already):
I didn't want to add the "war" thing so I modified my build.xml as follows:
``
<target name="help">
<echo>You can use the following targets:</echo>
<echo>
</echo>
<echo> help : (default) Prints this message </echo>
<echo> all : Cleans, compiles, and packages application</echo>

<echo> compile : Compiles servlets into class files</echo>
<echo> dist : Packages artifacts into a deployable WAR</echo>
<echo>
</echo>
<echo>For example, to clean, compile, and package all at once, run:</echo>

</target>

</fileset>
<pathelement location="${tcserver.home}/lib" />
<fileset dir="${tcserver.home}/lib">
<include name="*.jar" />
</fileset>
<fileset dir="${lib.dir}">
<include name="*.jar" />
</fileset>
</path>
<target name="all" depends="clean,compile,dist" description="Clean work dirs, then compile and create a WAR" />

<mkdir dir="${dist.home}" />
<mkdir dir="${work.home}/WEB-INF/classes" />
<!-- Copy static HTML and JSP files to work dir -->
<copy todir="${work.home}">
<fileset dir="${web.home}" />
</copy>
</target>
<target name="compile" depends="prepare" description="Compile Java sources and copy to WEB-INF/classes dir">
<javac srcdir="${src.home}" destdir="${work.home}/WEB-INF/classes">
<classpath refid="compile.classpath" />
</javac>
<copy todir="${work.home}/WEB-INF/classes">
<fileset dir="${src.home}" excludes="**/*.java" />
<fileset dir="${lib.dir}" includes="*.jar" />
</copy>
</target>
<target name="dist" depends="compile" description="Create WAR file for binary distribution">
<jar jarfile="${dist.home}/${app.name}-${app.version}.war" basedir="${work.home}" />
</target>
Now ANT can find the dependencies and compile it. However when I deploy it to a Tomcat server, it fails to file the dependencies. Can you please provide some ideas as to how I can package the dependencies so its visible to Tomcat as well?
You should use the war task instead:
<war destfile="${warname}" webxml="war/WEB-INF/web.xml">
<fileset dir="${work.home}"/>
<lib dir="${lib.dir}/" includes="log4j.jar"/>
<classes dir = "${CLASSES}" />
</war>
You can configure it to find the dependency jars to be included in your war file and to specify the path to the web.xml folder. You shouldn't be coping the .class files to the destination in the war folder, let the war task do it for you.

And I have test files in /test directory as well as i have put the jars in ANT_HOME/lib
That does not work and I get this error when I dig up the test-results/....xml
<error message="NewEmptyJUnitTest" type="java.lang.ClassNotFoundException">java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: NewEmptyJUnitTest

Thanks for helping me out...
The classpath for the junit task does not include the output of the compile-test target. Use something like the following for the JUnit classpath:
<classpath>
<pathelement path="${build}"/>
<path refid="files-classpath" />
<path refid="junit-classpath" />
</classpath>
You forgot to add your own classes ("build") to the "test" target.

Ant+Junit works on first run and never again

Hey guys I've been trying all day to get an ant file to automatically build my project. The file (appended below) was on a web page I found and is pretty thorough.
My problem is that it works as long as I don't run the "clean" target. Once the I run the "clean" target the "test" target ceases to work. I get NoClassFound errors on all test classes. Even though it worked earlier.
I'm working on a Macbook (10.5.8) using the latest version of eclipse. This error occurs running the file from eclipse and from a terminal using Ant version 1.7.1
I modified the file slightly to adapt it to my file structure which is as follows:
src/
packageA.packageB/
ClassA.java
...
ClassN.java
unittests/
packageA.packageB/
AllClassTests.java
ClassATest.java
...
ClassNTest.java
lib/
junit-4.7.jar
The ant file is:
<project name="SampleJUnitTests" default="dist" basedir=".">
<description>
DataTypes Build File
</description>
<!-- set global properties for this build -->
<property name="project_name" value="DataTypes"/>

I give up and hope that someone can shine a light on my problem.
Thanks a lot!
You haven't got any Ant target which builds the test classes. You could do this as part of the compile target if you wanted:
<target name="compile" depends="init" description="compile the source code " >
<javac srcdir="${src}" destdir="${build}">
<classpath>
<fileset dir="lib">
<include name="**/*.jar"/>
</fileset>
</classpath>
</javac>
<javac srcdir="${tests}" destdir="${build}">
<classpath>
<pathelement path="${build}"/>
<fileset dir="lib">
<include name="**/*.jar"/>
</fileset>
</classpath>
</javac>
</target>
