Put junit.jar into your CLASSPATH and it works.

If you insist on not having junit.jar in your CLASSPATH, remove
optional.jar from ANT_HOME/lib as well to avoid classloader problems
and add

<taskdef name="junit" 
         classname="org.apache.tools.ant.taskdef.optional.junit.JUnitTask">
  <classpath>
    <pathelement location="/path/to/junit.jar" />
    <pathelement location="/path/to/optional.jar" />
  </classpath>
</taskdef>

We should rewrite this, JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext is evil.
