Hi Marc,
The .classpath and build.xml should are more or less independent... Having the .classpath correct means I can rely on Eclipse's automatic build to compile the classes without needing to run the ant script. As I suspect you already know, per the smiley, the .classpath doesn't effect ant (AFAIK anyway)

Thanks for the tips on the junit and ant - I'll try this as I'm sure one day I'll need to run the unit tests :)

Cheers,
Dan

You don't need to copy the junit jar file into ant/lib, although that is what
the ant cactus task documentation is recommending. But I had problems with
conflicting junit jar files in the past.

You can do menu Run > External tools > External tools, to create a
configuration for your ant build -if not already done (usually the tool does
it for you). Then go to the classpath tab and click on 'User Entries', and
then the 'Add JARs...' button on the right. You select the junit jar file
from xwiki/lib and all the rest will work without complaints.

There is a .classpath I believe but I could not find a way to modify it to
make the ant build work. Tell me if you do ;-)
