Thanks that helped a little. I already had junit installed but I suppose I needed it in my class path so I added it using the flags -cp before I compiled it but it seems like the compile failed.
$ javac -cp "lib/junit.jar" MyXMLTestCase.java

I also tried compiling a simpler file but same issues. I have junit.jar and xmlunit.jar inside my lib directory. I also tried adding a ";lib/xmlunit.jar" and it wouldn't recognize the TestCase framework...
You don't run your tests directly via Java, you need a testrunner for JUnit tests like the console or GUI runners shipping with JUnit or the JUnit support provided by your build-tool or IDE of choice.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Am receiving this issue when running javac -classpath lib/xmlunit-1.5.jar xmltest2.java
3: error: cannot access TestCase
Tried installed libxmlunit-java (v1.3) in Ubuntu but it still couldn't find the library. I'm using the import command:
package org.custommonkey.xmlunit;
import org.cutommonkey.xmlunit.*;
and I get:
2: error: package org.cutommonkey.xmlunit does not exist
I'm sure this is a quick fix but I cannot seem to figure this out. How do I incorporate xmlunit into my java file?

In the first case you also need JUnit in yous classpath. XMLUnit 1.x is an extnesion of JUNit but neither replace nor bundles it.
In your second case you've misspelt custommonkey (you have skipped the "s").

javac -cp "lib/junit.jar;lib/xmlunit.jar" MyXMLTestCase
java -cp ".:lib/junit.jar;lib/xmlunit.jar" MyXMLTestCase
I'm sort of a newbie when it comes to this. Would you please explain the steps to get this to work?
Thanks again,
