Maven 3.0.3 uses old JUnit Plugin which doesn't have org.junit.* package

Question

I'm using Hudson and trying to build a maven project from subversion repository. Problem is, that Maven downloads an old junit version, I guess, because I found this:

Downloading: ..repo1.maven.org/maven2/junit/junit/3.8.1/junit-3.8.1.pom Downloaded: ..repo1.maven.org/maven2/junit/junit/3.8.1/junit-3.8.1.pom (998 B at 2.0 KB/sec)

Later it complains that package org.junit.* doesn't exist.

When I instead let Hudson built a local copy of this project (not subversion managed), it starts the junit test:

T E S T S

Running JUnitTest ...

My pom.xml looks like this:

http://codeviewer.org/view/code:2227

(I also tried junit 4.8.2 without the square brackets, which didn't help anything. )

How do I get the JUnit Tests to run?

Answer 1

Though junit dependency with 4.8.2 version is specified in the pom, it is between <dependencyManagement> tag. As such that version will not be used, unless the dependendency is explicitly defined in the build.

You could fix the problem in two ways.

Remove the outer <dependencyManagement> tag - just retain the contents.

Define the following in addition to what is present in the pom file between <dependencyManagement> and <build> tags.

<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>junit</groupId>
        <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>
