How to default the source folder for new JUnit tests in Eclipse?

Question

Most of our Eclipse projects have multiple source folders, for example:

• src/main/java
• src/test/java

When you right-click on a class and choose New JUnit Test, the default source folder for the new test is "src/main/java" (presumably the first source folder listed in the project properties).

Is there any way to change the default source folder for new JUnit tests, so that when I do the above action, the new test will be created in say the "src/test/java" folder by default?

Answer 1

I use moreUnit, an Eclipse plugin to assist writing unit tests. Among other features, it lets you configure the default source folder of tests.

Answer 2

No.

Unless you change the plugin code, the default source folder is always the same as that containing the class you right clicked on (not necessarily the first source folder listed). I agree, it would be nice to be able to change it!

Answer 3

Now you can use my fast code eclipse plug-in. With this plug-in you can configure the test path to be src/test/java only once. It also has a jump to the unit test feature. It is available at : http://fast-code.sourceforge.net/.
