I'm trying to do the build for the demo of hibernate 3.1 and I keep getting the following error

I checked, and junit is definitely in the lib folder, so not sure what's going on. I didn't change the build.xml file and not sure if I need to. Any help would be appreciated.

I also saw somewhere someone saying to use netbeans to build it, but wasn't sure how to do that exactly.

You also need the junit jar in your ant lib directory, or in some directory that ant looks in. This is for the ant junit task.

In fact, you only need it in your ant lib directory for the eg target, as no junits are run. If you can't get it to work, just delete all references to junit in build.xml.

great! Yeah, I just got rid of that part in the build.xml file and it worked perfectly. As a side note though, junit was in the ant lib folder, so still not sure what was going on, but it compiled, so I'm happy :). Thanks for the help.
