<h2 align="center">TestNG Eclipse plug-in</h2>
<p>The TestNG Eclipse plug-in allows you to run your TestNG tests from Eclipse
and easily monitor their execution and their output. It has its own
<a href="http://code.google.com/p/testng-eclipse">separate project on code.google.com</a> called <tt>testng-eclipse</tt>.</p>
<h3><a name="eclipse-installation">4.1 - Installation</a></h3><p>
Once you have <a href="http://testng.org/doc/download.html">installed the plug-in</a>, restart Eclipse and select the menu <tt>Window / Show View
/ Other...</tt>&nbsp; and you should see the TestNG view listed in the Java category.</p><p align="center">

</p>
<h3><a name="eclipse-create-launch">4.2 - Creating a TestNG Launch configuration</a></h3><p>Once you have created classes that contain TestNG annotations and/or one or
more <tt>testng.xml</tt> files, you can create a TestNG Launch Configuration.&nbsp;
Select the <tt>Run / Run...</tt> (or <tt>Run / Debug...</tt>) menu and create a new TestNG
configuration:</p><p align="center">
<img src="http://testng.org/pictures/launch.png" />
</p>
<p>You should change the name of this configuration and pick a project, which
can be selected by clicking on the <tt>Browse...</tt> button at the top of the window.</p><p>Then you choose to launch your TestNG tests in the following ways:</p><h4><a name="eclipse-launch-class">4.2.1 - From a class file</a></h4><p>Make sure the box near <tt>Class</tt> is checked and then pick a class from your
project.&nbsp; You can click on the <tt>Browse...</tt> button and pick it directly from a
list.&nbsp; This list only contains classes that contain TestNG annotations:</p><p align="center">
<img src="http://testng.org/pictures/classes.png" />
</p>
<h4><a name="eclipse-launch-groups">4.2.2 - From groups</a></h4><p>If you only want to launch one or several groups, you can type them in the
text field or pick them from a list by clicking on the <tt>Browse...</tt> button&nbsp;
<p align="center">
<img src="http://testng.org/pictures/groups.png" />
</p>
<h4><a name="eclipse-launch-definition">4.2.3 - From a definition file</a></h4>Finally, you can select a suite definition from your project. It doesn't have to be named
<tt>testng.xml</tt>, the plug-in will automatically identify all the applicable TestNG XML files
in your project:
<p align="center">

</p>
<h4>
<a name="eclipse-launch-method">4.2.4 - From a method </a>
</h4>
<p>This launch isn't accomplished from the Launch dialog but
directly from your Outline view:</p><p align="center">
<img src="http://testng.org/pictures/outline.png" />
</p>
You can right-click on any test methods and select <tt>Run as... / TestNG test</tt> and only the selected
method will be run (not shown on the above screenshot because I couldn't find a way to capture
a contextual menu).<p>Method launching is also available from the Package
Explorer view and from the Java Browser perspective.</p><p>Once you have selected one of these launches, you can also choose the logging of level and also
whether TestNG should run in 1.4 or 1.5 mode. Then you can launch the tests by
pressing the <tt>Debug</tt> (or <tt>Run</tt>) button, which will switch you to the Debug
perspective and will open the main TestNG view.</p><h4>
<a name="eclipse-viewing">4.3 - Viewing the test results </a>
</h4>
<p align="center">
<img src="http://testng.org/pictures/success.png" width="798" height="506" />
</p>
<p>The above view shows a successful run of the tests:&nbsp; the bar is green
and no failed tests are reported.&nbsp; The <tt>All tests</tt> tab shows you a list of
all the classes and methods that were run.</p><p>If your test run contains failures, the view will look like this:</p><p align="center">
<img src="http://testng.org/pictures/failure.png" />
</p>
<p>You can use the <tt>Failed tests</tt> tab to display only these tests that failed, and
when you select such a test, the stack trace will be shown on the right-hand
pane.&nbsp; You can double click on the offending line to be taken directly to
the failure in your code.</p>
<h3><a name="quickfix">4.4 - Converting JUnit tests</a></h3>
<p>When you are editing a JUnit class, press Ctrl-1 (Quick Fix) and the plug-in
will give you the option to convert it to TestNG, either with JDK5 annotations:</p>
<p align="center">
<img src="http://beust.com/pics/quickfix1.png" />
</p>
<p>or JavaDoc annotations:</p>
