Eclipse JUnit - possible causes of seeing “initializationError” in Eclipse window

Question

I know this question is pretty general but I haven\'t found any hints on why this error may show up. What are possible causes of seeing initalizationError in Eclips

Answer 1

I had the same issue... I was using maven building tool with JUnit dependency scope as 'test' and my @Test method was in main module.

To resolve, I've: 1. Commented the scope tag of JUnit dependency in the pom.xml 2. Rebuilt the package 3. Made sure the Test class has only one constructor

The issue can be two-folded: 1. The JUnit dependency is limited to test scope and the @Test method is in main scope 2. The test class has more than one constructor
