Answer 1

Are you sure your test class is in the build folder? You're invoking junit in a separate JVM (fork=true) so it's possible that working folder would change during that invocation and with build being relative, that may cause a problem.

Run ant from command line (not from Eclipse) with -verbose or -debug switch to see the detailed classpath / working dir junit is being invoked with and post the results back here if you're still can't resolve this issue.

Answer 2

Please make sure the output folder in Java Build Path tab set as like below,which would determine where the .class file are generated.Then clean the project.
