Question

I’m trying to get JUnit 4 tests to properly run in Eclipse Indigo SR1, but something is screwy. In the simplest case that I can think of (as below):

package ints;

import static org.junit.Assert.*;

import org.junit.Before;
import org.junit.Test;

public class IntTest {

    @Before
    public void setUp() throws Exception {
        System.out.println("setUp()");
    }

    @Test
    public void test() {
        System.out.println("assertEquals(1, 1);");
        assertEquals(1, 1);
    }

    @Test
    public void test2() {
        System.out.println("assertEquals(1, 2);");
        assertEquals(1, 2);
    }
}

When I run this in Eclipse (Alt+Shift+X, T), the JUnit view reports “Runs: 0/0, Errors: 0, Failures: 0” while the console displays the below, but I’m not getting anything else. I can throw exceptions from the test methods & they aren’t displayed either.

setUp()
assertEquals(1, 1);
setUp()
assertEquals(1, 2);

Any ideas as to what gives?

For some reason uninstalling the 1.7 32-bit JDK solved this problem for me. It didn’t seem to be on the path or anything that I could figure out. It feels a little too much like magic, but it worked.

I had 4 JDKs installed (1.6 & 1.7, 32-bit & 64-bit). Now I have 3.
