Initial
JCreator/JUnit Setup
Setup JUnit Project
Path
- Load
JCreator.
- Each
lab and assignment will require their own JCreator project. To create a
new project, press Ctrl+Shift+N, or navigate to the option through the
File menu.
- Under
"Project Template", select "Empty Project".
- Under
"Project Paths", enter a project name.
- Under
"Project ClassPath", select the "Required Libraries" tab. Click "New...".
- In the
"Name" text box, type JUnit
4.4.
- On the
Classes tab, add a new archive. Navigate to your junit-4.4.jar file from
your JUnit 4.4 installation. Click "Open". Click "OK".
- Check
the box next to "JUnit 4.4", and click "Finish".
JCreator/JUnit Setup For Future Projects
The JUnit project path remains on your machine
between projects. The one and only task that needs to be remembered for each
subsequent project is to check the "JUnit 4.4" box on the "Project ClassPath"
page. No additional setup is required.
Running JUnit Tests
- Open
the desired AllTests.java test file so that it is the currently selected file in
JCreator.
- Click "Build/Execute File".
