title: Junit ExceptionInInitializerError
body: <p>When i try to run a junit test individually i get this error. And when i try to run it using Ant(Which runs all the tests) it runs fine. Can anyone tell me what can be the possible reason? The src folder and the test folder are in same hierarchy. Do i have to link src and test folder? </p>
