Hi Bharath --

W/r/t Ant-contrib <trycatch> , here is a snippet from the documentation:

    /This mirrors Java's try/catch/finally.
    /

"Mirrors" meaning to say "is analogous to".

    /The tasks inside of the required |<try>| element will be run. If
    one of them should throw a BuildException several things can happen:/

... etc.

Does your failing Java class test throw an Ant-contrib BuildException? I 
take the documentation
to mean that only a BuildException being thrown will be caught in the 
<catch> block. It is not
a universal Java try/catch facility.
