I have a patch that makes junit work without any changes to the ant installation.
The only requirement is that you fork a new JVM for the junit test.
How did I do this? I changed the ant-junit.jar so it does not load/reference any
junit classes before it forks a new JVM. That way the classloader problems
disappear since junit classes are not loaded inside ant's JVM.

If you want to give it a testspin, get the jar file here:
1) Download ant-junit.jar from here http://tobiasen.dk/ant/ant-junit.jar
2) Drop it in $ANT_HOME/lib
3) Run your tests, remember to set fork="yes" in your tests and have the
junit.jar in the classpath of the test. 
<junit fork="yes" printsummary="yes">
  <classpath>
	include junit.jar here...
  </classpath>
...

I have compiled the ant-junit.jar using jdk 1.4.2_08 and against ant 1.6.4.

I would like to submit the patch, but I have no experience in submitting
patches. Please tell me how. 
The patch is quite big, since almost all classes in
org/apache/tools/ant/taskdefs/optional/junit are changed and I have introduced
some new interfaces.
