question related to junit fork

[www]

Hi,

I am doing junit testing using build.xml and ant. Within build.xml,
there are several targets. If I test individual target, all pass
successfully:

>ant target1 //passes

>ant target2 //passes

>... //all passes

But, if I just do:

>ant test //testing all targets and it fails

I believe it fails because the *Test.class are executed in a random
sequence. But in target1, there are two Java classes, secondTest.class
can only be executed after firstTest.class. "ant target1" will force
such an order and it passes successfully. "ant test" will not guarantee
it so most of time fails. I posted target1 and test part within
build.xml. I have tried using fork as you can see below. I am very new
to junit. I cannot do it right.

Thank you very much for your help.
