Help Needed: Building 2.7 branch

[exabrial]

How does one build the 2.7 branch? I've made it this far:

ant -f antbuild.xml -Declipse.install.dir=/Applications/Eclipse.app/Contents/Eclipse

Which works up until it begins executing the following tests, and which point it acts like Junit is not on the test classpath. Any help much appreciated! thank you!
