(Java/Junit) I set the class path, and now I cannot compile the test file in the command prompt

Okay, I am trying to test a class with a test class using import junit.framework.*; and I download the Junit library and saved it with a classpath of:C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0_07\lib\junit-4.8.2.j…

I set up the CLASSPATH, and every time I try to compile the test file I get this error: 

C:\Users\Anita\Documents\java\Project2>j… TestImage.java
TestImage.java:1: error: package junit.framework does not exist
import junit.framework.*;
^

Did I do something wrong in the classpath? I tried everything! Any suggestions on how I can finally get junit to work?

...A couple of years late...

At least in 2014, you need to import from org.junit. The JUnit "Getting Started" guide states "Do not use any classes in junit.framework or junit.extensions."

As an example:

import org.junit.*;

public class TestFoobar {
    @BeforeClass
    public static void setUpClass() throws Exception {
    }

    @Before
    public void setUp() throws Exception {
    }

    @Test
    public void testSomething() {
    }

    @Test
    @Ignore
    public void thisIsIgnored() {
    }

    @After
    public void tearDown() throws Exception {
        // Code executed after each test
    }

    @AfterClass
    public static void tearDownClass() throws Exception {
    }
}

...and then run tests

C:\junit>dir
 Volume in drive C is L032336
 Volume Serial Number is CAB2-E609

 Directory of C:\junit

2014-10-20  06:57    <DIR>          .
2014-10-20  06:57    <DIR>          ..

2014-10-20  06:11           245,039 junit-4.11.jar
2014-10-20  06:57               518 TestFoobar.java
               3 File(s)        290,581 bytes
               2 Dir(s)  277,498,945,536 bytes free

C:\junit>javac -cp junit-4.11.jar TestFoobar.java

C:\junit>java -cp .;junit-4.11.jar;hamcrest-core-1.3.jar org.junit.runner.JUnitCore TestFoobar
JUnit version 4.11
I.
Time: 0.007

OK (1 test)

Try to unzip your jar to check if the contents is really there. Also, instead setting the environment variable, try to pass the classpath as an argument, like follows:

javac -cp ./junit-4.8.2.jar TestImage.java

but instead of ./junit-4.8.2.jar, use the full path of your jar.
