I think you are up the creek without a paddle here. The commandline has a limit for arguments to call a programm.

I have 2 sugestion you could try. First, prior to running the junit tests, you can let a script/ant_task create JARs of the various classes on the classpath. Then you can put the JARs on the classpath, which should be shorter.

Another way you could try is to create an antscript to run JUNIT, in ANT there should not be such a limit for classpath entries.
