Install eclipse and run it. Create a source directory to hold project source. Exit from eclipse. Add source code under the source directory. Start Eclipse and use File/Refresh. Statement flagged as an error: import junit.framework.*; Instructions for adding JUnit indicate that "run>run" should be used but there is no "run>run" menu item. I was going to unpack a copy of JUnit under the source directory, but looking in JUnit properties, I find that JUnit support is already included. Since it already has JUnit support built in, it seems inappropriate to add what could be a different version of JUnit by including it in CLASSPATH or Advanced Libraries.
You need to refer the JUnit project as a prerequisite of your project. Do so in the Java build path dialog, otherwise junit packages are not seen from your project. Could you please specify which build you used in order to reproduce the weird message you got? Thanks.
Eclipse has indeed some built-in JUnit facility, but it is not added to your classpath by default. Only java.lang.* is a free import in Java. This is the law.

Although java.lang.* may be the only default Java import, there are javax.* and other items found depending on the compiler installation. I can see an advantage forcing the user to include something in CLASSPATH to specify which version of JUnit is being used because a normal compile would already do that. I have a version of JUnit that is used during compile outside of Eclipse, but my concern was for interactions with a JUnit that already seems to be in Eclipse. As a side note, maybe a bugzilla issue, I received an email from Philippe's reply but not for the earlier one.
According to Help/About: Version 2.0.2 Build ID 200211071448 It was the latest official release for Solaris when I downloaded it earlier this week.
