That all looks fine (though deploy should not be in there).

Sorry I'm not following this part. You made two changes:

1. Added @library /test/lib

What is this doing? (For that matter what is the existing "classes" 
entry supposed to mean ??? how is "classes" a library?)

2. Instead of the test reading from test.classes you are using the 
ClassfileInstaller to copy the class to the working directory.

How does this make a difference to anything? If the test wouldn't find 
the class in test.classes, doesn't that mean ClassfileInstaller will 
also fail to find it?

Thanks,
David
