When i run ant target for junit, following error occurs:
Configuration problem: Failed to import bean definitions from URL location [classpath:/esw-web-ctx.xml] Offending resource: class path resource [applicationContext.xml]; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.parsing.BeanDefinitionParsingException: Configuration problem: Failed to import bean definitions from URL location [classpath:/com/bgc/ecm/core/tools/exceptions/errorpagehandler-ctx.xml] Offending resource: class path resource [esw-web-ctx.xml]; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanDefinitionStoreException: IOException parsing XML document from class path resource [com/bgc/ecm/core/tools/exceptions/errorpagehandler-ctx.xml]; nested exception is java.net.UnknownHostException: www.springframework.org

Check the XML namespaces definitions in that application context definition. It typically contains something like this:
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
xmlns:aop="http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop" xmlns:task="http://www.springframework.org/schema/task"
xmlns:util="http://www.springframework.org/schema/util"
xmlns:security="http://www.springframework.org/schema/security"
xsi:schemaLocation="
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-2.5.xsd
http://www.springframework.org/schema/context http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-2.5.xsd

I bet that some of the spring XSD files are not in the jars on your classpath; all these should be locally on your system and not downloaded from web.
