Run JUnit tests automatically in Jenkins without maven or ant

Question

I am currently setting up a continuous integration tool with Jenkins. I would like to run JUnit tests everytime a build is made. My problem is that none of the projects that will be tested use maven or ant. So I would like to know if it is possible to run these tests without maven or ant, and if it is, how do I do it ?

Thank you in advance for your answers

Answer 1

Have you tried ClasspathSuite by Johannes Link?

From the documentation:

The mechanism is simple. Just create a new project in Eclipse and add all projects that contain tests you want to run to its build path. Now create a class like that:

import org.junit.extensions.cpsuite.ClasspathSuite;
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;
@RunWith(ClasspathSuite.class)
public class MySuite {}

This will execute all JUnit4 testclasses (those containing methods with the @Test annotation) in the projects classpath.

You can then run it using JUnitCore.

java -cp /usr/share/java/junit.jar org.junit.runner.JUnitCore [test class name]
