Ant is telling me that my Junit test is successful when it clearly isnt...

Question

I have the following build.xml file

<property file="build.properties"/>
  <property name="src.dir" value="src"/>
  <property name="build.dir" value="classes"/>
  <property name="web.dir" value="war"/>
  <property name="test.dir" value="test"/>

  <path id="build.classpath">
      <fileset dir="lib">
       <include name="*.jar"/>
      </fileset>
      <!-- servlet API classes: -->
      <fileset dir="${appserver.lib}">
          <include name="servlet*.jar"/>
      </fileset>
      <pathelement path="${build.dir}"/>
  <pathelement path="${test.dir}"/>
  </path>

 <path id="classpath.base"/>
 <path id="classpath.test">
     <pathelement location="c:/ant/lib/junit.jar" />
     <pathelement location="${build.dir}"/>
     <pathelement location="${src.dir}"/>
     <pathelement location="${test.dir}" />
     <pathelement location="classes"/>
    <path refid="classpath.base" />
</path>

<target name="build">
      <!-- Following two lines creat src and test folders in WEB/INF folders -->
      <mkdir dir="${build.dir}"/>
  <mkdir dir="${test.dir}"/>
     <javac destdir="${build.dir}" source="1.5" target="1.5" debug="true" deprecation="false" optimize="false" failonerror="true">
      <src path="${src.dir}"/>
      <classpath refid="build.classpath"/>
      </javac>
  <javac destdir="${build.dir}" source="1.5" target="1.5" debug="true" deprecation="false" optimize="false" failonerror="true">
          <src path="${test.dir}"/>
          <classpath refid="build.classpath"/>
      </javac>
</target>

    <target name="test">
    <junit haltonfailure="true" printsummary="yes">
      <classpath refid="classpath.test" />
      <classpath refid="build.classpath"/>
      <formatter type="brief" usefile="false" />
      <batchtest fork="yes">
            <fileset dir="${test.dir}">
                <include name="**/*Test.java"/>
            </fileset>
      </batchtest>
    </junit>

and I have the following test class just to test out the build

package com.mmz.mvc.test;

import junit.framework.*;



public class MemberDAOTest extends TestCase
{

    public void test1(){
        assertTrue("Test didn't work",false);
    }
}   

Obviously this test is supposed to fail, but its not. Can anybody tell me why I am getting the following output. Also, if there is something you see wrong, then please let me know if I can improve my build script, I am new to writing any build files.

test:
    [junit] Running com.mmz.mvc.test.MemberDAOTest
    [junit] Testsuite: com.mmz.mvc.test.MemberDAOTest
    [junit] Tests run: 1, Failures: 0, Errors: 0, Time elapsed: 0.018 sec
    [junit] Tests run: 1, Failures: 0, Errors: 0, Time elapsed: 0.018 sec
BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 1 second

Easy way to confirm Ant runs your latest version of MemberDAOTest: Add method test2(), to see if Ant runs test2() or not.
