How can i run the junit in Maven 2.0?

[Baz <ba...@gmail.com>]

All,

I have developers *Test.java files in place and invoking some sort of
junit frameworks.

My question is: Do i need to invoke anything to run the Junit?
Surefire? How? If i add the surefire plugins in pom.xml, is that mean
the junits will be executed?

How can i tell surefire to output in xml format?

Thanks.

B.

Good day to you, B.,

Maven goes through different build phases. One of them is test. In this test
phase, the goal surefire:test is invoked ( See [1] for more info on
lifecycles and phases). This will run your test cases ( which are your java
files which has the following pattern: Test*.java, *Test.java,
*TestCase.java. See [2] for more info ) in your test directory ( which by
default is src/test/java. See [3] for more info ). Thus, as long as you have
src/test/java/**/Test*.java or src/test/java/**/*Test.java or
src/test/java/**/*TestCase.java, and you invoke a command which goes pass
the test phase ( mvn package, mvn install, mvn deploy, etc ), your tests
would run even if you don't configure anything in your pom ( except for
adding junit to your dependency :) ).

After running the commands, you can take a look at your
target/surefire-reports/ and you will see text and xml files for each of
your test case. That's because for each of your test case, the
maven-surefire-report-plugin will generate a text and an xml output. 

Also, if you want to generate surefire reports you can also take a look at
[4] for the maven-surefire-report-plugin.

Cheers,
Franz
