I tried many configurations.  The Ant tasks are "natively" in Ant 
Runtime as the ant-junit.jar is in ant's lib directory, which is as it 
should be.

As for junit.jar, it was originally "just" in my project's CLASSPATH, 
which certainly was something outside the runtime context of the 
build.xml script, so I tried:

	* adding it to the classpath of the taskdef -> didn't help
	* adding it to Ant Runtime's Global Entries -> didn't help
	* putting it in Ant's lib and refreshing Ant Runtime to see it
          in the Ant Home entries -> didn't help

Well yes, but going with Ant didn't help.

Again, Ant DOES work well with the internal class path def in the 
build.xml file.  Only the IDE detects an issue, which is wrong, because 
running the script works fine, including from Eclipse.
