Showing JUnit view in Eclipse when running tests from Code

When I run just my Testclass in Eclipse I get the JUnit view showing the tree structure and if the test was successful. If I start my Test from code:

JUnitCore core = new JUnitCore();
core.run(SimpleTests.class);

the view does not show. Can I change this?

If the view doesn't show, go to Window -> Perspective -> Reset Perspective..

I get this problem from time to time.

There is something corrupted in the eclipse workspace.

The only solution for me is to create a new workspace and bring in the projects.

It's a serious pain when there are fifty projects in the workspace.

You can't interact with the JUnit view from your code using JUnitCore.

You can however, add your tests to the JUnitView if you use a @Parameterized test, or if you implement your own test runner. Try extending the Suite class and reimplement one of the constructors with the tests that you want to execute.

I suppose you run your code in the main method like this example :

public class MiniTest extends TestCase
{
@Test
public void test()
{
    System.out.println("Running test");
}

public static void main(String[] args)
{
    JUnitCore core = new JUnitCore();
    core.run(MiniTest.class);
}

In this case, it will not show your view because you launch your program as a java application (alt-shift-X-J). You will see "Running test" in the console but that is.
If you want to see the Junit View you must launch your program as a Junit test (alt-shit-X-T).
Note that with this manner the main() is not necessary, Eclipse will directly launch the method tagged with @Test. You can also group tests with @Suite.

On your toolbar click Windows-->Show View-->Others. Type "Junit" without quotes. Select from list and click OK.
