Fine. Thats what I heard often by other people using JUnit.

I am just updating JUnitExt to JUnit 4.2. In principle, you can simple
change jar file. There is only one issue with one file missing in
junit-4.2.jar (excluded.properties), which may result in errors when
using reloading class loaders.
Will be fixed in JUnit 0.2.1.

This is a bug. The resources are simple missing in JAR file. I posted
an issued to project issue tracking (at Google Code hosting:
http://code.google.com/p/junitext/).

Will also be updated in 0.2.1, coming next day.

Bye, Jochen

Hi Henrik,

JUnitExt 0.2.1 which fixes your bug found has been released now.

See www.junitext.org for latest information.

If you are interested about news, subscribe to "junitext-dev" at
Google Groups. Bugs and enhancement requests should be posted to
project home page too. See http://code.google.com/p/junitext for more
information.

Much fun, Jochen

Hi Henrik,

I've made a short test: you are right. Would you create an issue at http://code.google.com/p/junitext for this bug ?
AFAI understand, I have to adapt the SwingUI based runner, to automatically use the JUnit4TestAdapter for JUnit4 based test cases. The presence of a suite method is not sufficient.

Will give you feedback when solved.

Could you please always post zu Mailing list too ?

Thanks, Jochen

Thank you for your speedy response!

However while the missing icon problem has been fixed there is still a
problem with running with 4.2

the following command

java -classpath .;junit-4.1.jar;junit- ui-runners-3.8.2.jar
junit.swingui.TestRunner TestPayStation

works all right

but changing to the new 4.2 jar

java -classpath .;junit-4.2.jar;junit-ui-runners-3.8.2.jar
junit.swingui.TestRunner TestPayStation


throws a java.lang.ClassCastException

I have compiled the test class with the junit 4.2 jar in both cases. the
junit-ui-runners jar file size is 71.930
and has modification time 20:30 january 3rd so I do not think I have made a
copying error of your jar file.

Any ideas?
