ClassNotFoundException when running a JUnit test from ANT

Hi,

I have the following ANT task:

 <target name="run-tests" depends="compile" description="run your test suite" >
  <junit printsummary="yes" haltonfailure="yes" showoutput="yes" >

  <classpath>
  <pathelement location="${build}/"/>
   <pathelement path="${java.class.path}"/>
   <fileset dir="lib">
    <include name="**/*.jar"/>
   </fileset>    
  </classpath>  

   <batchtest fork="yes" todir="${reports}/raw/">
   <formatter type="xml"/>
    <fileset dir="${src}">
       <include name="**/*Test*.java"/>
    </fileset>
   </batchtest>
 </junit> 
</target>

The 'compile' task generates classes in the 'build' folder. That folder is included in the classpath for junit task:

<pathelement location="${build}/"/>

But the task can't find any of the compiled classes and the test run fails.

If I remove the package notation from the tests (put then in the default package) the task finds then and everything works. I guess I have a classpath issue...

Tried to add the classes with a 'fileset' task but it didn't work. Tried to run the task in the same JVM (fork="false") to no avail.

If I change the fileset in the 'batchtest' task to:

    <fileset dir="${build}">
      <include name="**/*Test*.class"/>
    </fileset>

Then it works (changed it to point to the build dir), but all the examples I see online have filesets pointing to the .java files:

http://ant.apache.org/manual/OptionalTasks/junit.html

Appreciate any help.
