Ant - junit, build failed= Could not create task or type of type junit
Q: Ant - junit, build failed: Could not create task or type of type: junit
When running JUnit tasks in ant and you get the following error:
BUILD FAILED
path\to\Geoserver\build.xml:259: Could not create task or type of type: junit.
Ant could not find the task or a class this task relies upon.
To fix this problem, you need to copy a JUnit.jar file to your eclipse/plugins/org.apache.ant/lib directory
Next you need to go into Eclipse then click on Window->Preferences->ant->Runtime, then select 'Ant Home Entries (Default). Click on the button 'Add External JARs'. Locate the junit.jar file you copied, select it and hit 'OK'. Hit 'Apply', then 'OK' and try your ant task again. That should fix it.

This hint has been very heplful to me.
I had a similar problem, but with the scp-task. I had to place a copy of jsch.jar in the directory, then I could run the target containing the scp-task out of eclipse. Before I had to do it via command-line.
