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

By default , maven looks at these folders for java and test classes respectively - src/main/java and src/test/java

When the src is specified with the test classes under source and the scope for junit dependency in pom.xml is mentioned as test - org.unit will not be found by maven.
