Building both the application and the JUnit tests.

      <target name="build-project" depends="init">
          <echo message="${ant.project.name}: ${ant.file}" />

          <javac debug="true"

Building the JUnit report. This turns up as a subdirectory with index.html you can browse. Builds one actual test, named AccountManagerTest.

      <property name="junit.output.dir" value="junit" />
      ...
      <target name="AccountManagerTest">
          <mkdir dir="${junit.output.dir}"/>
          <junit fork="yes" printsummary="withOutAndErr">
              <formatter type="xml"/>
              <test name="com.acme.web.user.manager.AccountManagerTest" todir="${junit.output.dir}"/>
          <classpath refid="rest-server.classpath"/>
          </junit>
      </target>
      ...
      <target name="junitreport">
          <junitreport todir="${junit.output.dir}">
              <fileset dir="${junit.output.dir}">
                  <include name="TEST-*.xml" />
