Maven 3 and JUnit 4 compilation problem: package org.junit does not exist

Question

I am trying to build a simple Java project with Maven. In my pom-file I declare JUnit 4.8.2 as the only dependency. Still Maven insists on using JUnit version 3.8.1. How do

Answer 1

I had the same problem. All i did was - From the pom.xml file i deleted the dependency for junit 3.8 and added a new dependency for junit 4.8. Then i did maven clean and maven install. It did the trick. To verify , after maven install i went project->properties-build path->maven dependencies and saw that now the junit 3.8 jar is gone !, instead junit 4.8 jar is listed. cool!!. Now my test runs like a charm.. Hope this helps somehow..
