Running jUnit with ANT - How to execute all tests without using #Suite? - ant

Question

I'd like to execute all tests in a /test directory without using annotations such as
#Suite.SuiteClasses( ....)
In the past i had a single class, which was calling many other classes to test them all. This approach is no longer acceptable.
I have a /test directory, underneath which i have a number of packages, each containing several tests.
In my current ANT script, i have:
<target name="compileTest" depends="compile" description="compile jUnit">
<javac srcdir="${test}" destdir="${bin}" includeantruntime="true" />
</target>
followed by
<target name="test" depends="compileTest">
<junit printsummary="yes" fork="no" haltonfailure="no">
<classpath location="${bin}" />
<formatter type="plain" />
</junit>
</target>
In the past, i had
<test name="MyCollectionOfTests" />
I'd rather not do this anymore.
What am i missing? Please advise.

You can use a nested batchtest. For instance:
<junit printsummary="on"
fork="on"
dir="${test.build}"
haltonfailure="false"
failureproperty="tests.failed"
showoutput="true">
<classpath>
<path refid="tests.classpath"/>
</classpath>
<batchtest todir="${test.report}">
<fileset dir="${test.gen}">
<include name="**/Test*.java"/>
</fileset>
<fileset dir="${test.src}">
<include name="**/Test*.java"/>
<exclude name="gen/**/*"/>
</fileset>
</batchtest>
</junit>
In its simplest form, you can simply add a nested:
<batchtest todir="report">
<fileset dir="test"/>
</batchtest>
to your junit call.
