Making jUnit output info and compile to /build folder

I have the following Ant buildfile: 

<?xml version="1.0"?>    
<!-- the value of the default attr must be one of the targets. -->
<project name="Money" default="build-source" basedir=".">        
    <description>The Money project build file.</description>
    <property name="src" location="."/>
    <property name="build" location="build"/>
    <property name="junit" location="lib/junit-4.9b3.jar"/>

    <path id="_classpath">
        <pathelement path="${junit}"/>
        <pathelement path="${build}"/>
    </path>

    <target name="prepare">
        <mkdir dir="${build}"/>
    </target>

    <target name="build-source" depends="prepare"
            description="compile the source ">
        <javac srcdir="${src}" destdir="${build}">
            <classpath refid="_classpath"/>
        </javac>
    </target>

    <target name="run" depends="build-source">
        <junit printsummary="on" showoutput="on">
            <test name="money.MoneyTest"/>
            <classpath refid="_classpath"/>
        </junit>
    </target>
</project>

It's pretty basic - I'm just trying to get this thing to run properly. What I don't get is: 1) Why does it output the compiled files to a /build/money directory? I want the output directory to be just /build, given this directory structure for my files:

build/
build.xml
lib/
src/
test/

2) When there are tests that don't pass, it says "Test money.MoneyTest FAILED". I'd like it to output info about the failure, expected / actual values, line number, etc.

I can't figure this out by staring at the buildfile above. Any advice?

  1. It outputs the compiled files under build, creating a directory structure that corresponds to the layout of your packages.

    Since you put your classes in the money package, the output will be under build/money. If you put your classes under a org.example.foo package, your output would be in the build/org/example/foo directory.

    To have your .class files in build, you would have to use the default package.

    Edit I assume your source files have a package money; declaration, as in:

    package money;

public class MoneyTest {
...
}

  2. If you add a <formatter> element, detailed reports about test failures will be written to an output file (by default, named TEST-name). See also the Ant Junit Task Documentation.

    <junit printsummary="withOutAndErr" showoutput="on">
    <formatter type="plain"/>
    <test name="money.MoneyTest"/>
    <classpath refid="_classpath"/>
</junit>

    I have not found a way to directly print the failed tests reports to standard output.
