Is there something like ZenTest/Autotest for Java and JUnit

Question

I've used ZenTest and autotest to work on Ruby projects before, and I used to using them for test-driven development a la this configuration. I have a project that I'm currently working on in Java, and I was wondering if there is something similar in the Java world to achieve the same effect.

Answer 1

Might I also suggest Infinitest, it is under active development and works with other languages besides Java. I believe it works fine with Scala, but I haven't had much luck using it with Groovy.

It is free for personal use and is being developed by Improving.

Answer 2

I use junit max which is a eclipse plugin written by kent beck

Answer 3

Although not a lot of people use autotest like tools in java, there is one (although not so mature).

A blog about it.

Autotest for java.

Answer 4

I used the tool and looks pretty cool for first release.. I would request him to come up with next version soon...

Answer 5

I was looking for something like this a couple of weeks ago when I had to start doing some java. I couldn't find anything anywhere (being new to java) and I don't use eclipse so I hacked this together and will hopefully make it more useful in the future when I find some time:
