Invoking Junit from an Ant script within Eclipse

[junk]

Hi,

I am having a problem with an Ant script I am creating in Eclipse. I
want it to run junit and so I have some entries like:

<target name="Test" depends="Compile">
<junit>
<test name="com.mycompany.myclass">
</junit>
</target>

When I run this within Eclipse I get an error because it does not seem
to recognise junit. The start of the error is

Ant could not find the task or a class this task relies upon.

I am using Eclipse 3.0.0 build 200403261517

Looking in the list of plugins I have ant-junit.jar under
org.apache.ant_1.6.1

Any ideas?

Thanks
Andy

You need a <taskdef> for junit.

Thanks for that.

I have entered

<taskdef name="junit"
classname="org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.junit.JUnitTask"/>

into the build.xml file but I get a warning message saying

A class needed by the class
org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.junit.JUnitTask cannot be found:
junit/framework/TestListener

Any ideas?

Thanks
Andy

Open MyEclipse click on Window->Prefrences->Ant->Runtime->Classpath->Ant Home Entries->Add Jars
Add the junit.jar here
