Running JUnit through Eclipse

Question

I run JUnit tests through Eclipse (Helios, 1.3.0) through the ant build file and the external ant constructor. I was wondering if it is possible to use the Eclipes JUnit UI when they start, so that I can see the green or red bar there, instead of seeing success / failure messages in the console. Any pointers are welcome. Thank!

You can then open this file in a JUnit window. Click the button in the right corner and select Import. Then browse to the file you want to open:

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