Problems with Maven and JUnit: package junit.framework does not exist. Yes it is on the classpath.

[Andy Hale]

I recently installed maven-1.0-rc.tar.gz on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 
release: 4.3.0-55.EL.
I have junit.jar in my classpath and can compile JUnit Test classes with 
java at the command line.  I am attempting to compile a simple JUnit 
class file, but when I attempt to compile the JUnit class with maven it 
does not find the junit.jar.  Can you please let me know what I am doing 
wrong?
