Eclipse complaining of missing Junit jar even though it is already in build path

Question

I have the below Maven/Eclipse setup and I have already added junit as a compile time dependency in pom.xml.

<dependency>
        <groupId>junit</groupId>
        <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
        <version>3.8.2</version>
</dependency>

Can anyone clarify why I am being prompted by Eclipse to add junit to build path?

Thank you

Answer 1

You need JUnit 4 if you want to use annotations.

<dependency>
  <groupId>junit</groupId>
  <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
  <version>4.12</version>
</dependency>

Do following:

1. Update maven project.

2. Clean your project.

And then re run your test
