Running JUnit through Eclipse

Question

I run my JUnit tests through Eclipse (Helios, 1.3.0) through an ant build file and an external ant builder. I was wondering if it's possible to use Eclipes's JUnit UI when running them so that I can see the 'green' or 'red' bar in there instead of seeing success/failure messages in the console. Any pointers are greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Then, you can open this file up in the JUnit window. Click on the button on the far right and select Import. Then navigate to the file you want to open:

If you have JUnit reference for a project, I think you can right click on a project and select Run As > JUnit Test and that will run all the tests in the Project. Check out this post
