Eclipse complains about the lack of a Junit gang, even if it is already in the build path

Question

I have Maven / Eclipse setup below and I 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 someone clarify why Eclipse is prompting me to add junit to create the path?

thanks

Answer 1

You need JUnit 4 if you want to use annotations.

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

Answer 2

Do the following:

• Update maven project.

• Clean up the project.

And then repeat the test
