Ant 1.6 and JUnit - NoClassDefFoundError

I'm just taking a look at Ant 1.6 and I'm having a problem with a build file that works fine in 1.5.3.

java -version gives 1.3.1
ant -version gives 1.6

The only changes to the standard installation is that I've copied junit.jar and xalan.jar into ANT_HOME/lib (which I did for Ant 1.5) - prior to this the build complained that it couldn't find JUnit classes.

Now for *every* test suite in the build I get the following error.

    [junit] java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/w3c/dom/Node
    [junit]     at java.lang.Class.forName0(Native Method)
    [junit]     at java.lang.Class.forName(Class.java:120)
    [junit]     at org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.junit.FormatterElement
.createFormatter(FormatterElement.java:236)
    [junit]     at org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.junit.FormatterElement
.createFormatter(FormatterElement.java:220)
    [junit]     at org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.junit.JUnitTestRunner.
createAndStoreFormatter(JUnitTestRunner.java:586)
    [junit]     at org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.junit.JUnitTestRunner.
main(JUnitTestRunner.java:531)

I'm guessing that this must have something to do with the re-packaing of JARs in ANT_HOME/lib or the scary bit in the release notes about changes to classloaders. If anyone has come across similar problems, or has ideas for how to fix this, I'd be glad to hear from them.

Thanks
Keith

You are forking junit and have includeantruntime set to false,
correct?

Ant 1.5 had an unfortunate xercesImpl.jar entry in ant.jar's and
optional.jar's manifest that caused lot of problems for people who
wanted to use a different XML parser in their test.  This has been
fixed in 1.6.

A side effect of that bug was that you head a full fledged XML parser
and supporting classes available in the VM running the tests in 1.5
which you don't have anymore in 1.6 - unless you add xml-apis.jar
(should be all you need) to your <classpath>.

So yes, there is a backwards incompatibility but it is easy to fix.
Either add xml-apis.jar explicitly to your <classpath> or don't use
the XML formatter.

Hello Keith,

I don't *think* you need xalan.jar in the ANT_HOME/lib any more - have 
you tried removing it? There are some other jars in there that might 
conflict...
here's my test:

C:\TanguyLand>echo %JAVA_HOME%
C:\j2sdk1.4.2_01

C:\TanguyLand>echo %CLASSPATH%
%CLASSPATH% <- i.e. no classpath

C:\TanguyLand>echo %ANT_HOME%
C:\apache-ant-1.6.0

C:\TanguyLand>ls %ANT_HOME%/lib
AntDoc.jar               ant-jakarta-regexp.jar  ant-trax.jar
README                   ant-javamail.jar        ant-vaj.jar
ant-antlr.jar            ant-jdepend.jar         ant-weblogic.jar
ant-apache-bsf.jar       ant-jmf.jar             ant-xalan1.jar
ant-apache-resolver.jar  ant-jsch.jar            ant-xalan2.jar
ant-commons-logging.jar  ant-junit.jar           ant-xslp.jar
ant-commons-net.jar      ant-launcher.jar        ant.jar
