Yep, JUnit definitely needs to be moved there to do the tests.  This is 
because the ant optional.jar which contains the junit taskdef requires 
JUnit to be in the same classloader.  The other things that is sort of 
optional is Xalan.  j2sdk1.4.x ships with a very buggy old version of xalan 
and JDK1.3.x doesn't contain xalan at all.  In order to run the JUnit 
reports, you'd either need to move the xalan jar file to ANT_HOME/lib 
(under JDk1.3.x) or JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/endorsed (under j2sdk1.4.x) to 
override the endorsed package.
