Having tried to use junitdoclet in Eclipse, I think some of the problems =
can be improved by documentation changes. But not all of them.
I'm using Eclipse 2.1.1 under Windows 2000.
I started off by trying to install it as an external tool Eventually I =
gave up because I couldn't provide an alternate -properties file, and even =
making it work without alternate templates required hacking up the =
provided bat files. Too much of a maintenance nightmare for very little =
gain. Some of this could be reduced by rewriting the bat files to take =
arguments in arbitrary order.
However, I'm including a revised Eclipse IDE readme file for Eclipse 2.1.1 =
that will make it a little easier for those who can use it "out of the =
box."
[readme-Eclipse-2.1.1.txt]
Using it as an ant target worked a little better. There will still =
problems with the example script under Eclipse 2.1.1.
Here's a revised Eclipse ant target to add to the documentation.
This target assumes you have a "compile" target and a "compile.classpath" =
property (seems likely).
This target assumes that you've put the JUnitDoclet.jar and =
packagelister.jar files in ./src/support/JUnitDoclet/
It's assumed that your source code is in ./src, and that your test cases =
will be built in ./test-src.
If you want to specify an alternate template file, add the following to =
additionalparam. You cannot specify a relative path.
-properties ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO_YOUR_junitdoclet.properties_FILE
<target name=3D"junitdoclet" description=3D"Generate test cases" =
depends=3D"compile">
=09<path id=3D"junitdoclet.classpath">

<pathelement path =3D"./src/support/JUnitDoclet/JUnitDoclet.jar"/>
<pathelement path =

=09</path>
