Windows ant build failure on junit dependency

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Download and configure Ant 1.9.0 (set ANT_HOME and PATH) on Windows.
2. Run ant from the directory where the clone of EqualsVerifier resides.

This results in the following output:

It turned out to be an issue with Ant 1.9, not Windows. On my Linux machine it 
worked, but I was still on Ant 1.8. (1.9 was released this month.)

I'm still not completely sure why it fails. It might be because EV has a 
transitive dependency on Ant 1.8 (because of the maven-ant-tasks module), but 
the problem persisted when I removed it.

Anyway, I've added a fork="true" attribute to the <junit> task, which seems to 
fix it. I'm don't really want to spend much more time on this, so I'm closing 
the issue now :).

It forks a new process; i.e. executes the compile in a different JVM than the 
one that's running Ant. Among other things, you'll get a "clean" CLASSPATH.
