The content that follows is OUTDATED.

Eclipse build with JUnit 5.0.0 GA support:

• JUnit 5 support is now included in Eclipse Photon (4.8) builds. Try it out with the latest Integration build available here.

• Try out JUnit 5 support in Eclipse Oxygen.1 (4.7.1) using the latest U-build available here.

• You can also update the Eclipse 4.7 release build using this update site: http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/4.7-U-builds. In Eclipse, go to Help > Install New Software... and uncheck Group items by category. Select Eclipse SDK from the list of items and proceed with the installation.

Steps to do the code setup for JUnit 5.0.0 support in Eclipse:

• Download Eclipse 4.7 release build.

• Open a new workspace and set API baseline in Preferences as Eclipse 4.6.3.

• Clone the repository:

https://github.com/noopur2507/eclipse-junit5.git

• Copy the JARs (JUnit 5.0.0-RC2) from the cloned folder eclipse-junit5\JUnit-5-JARs to your Eclipse's "dropins" folder.

• Clone the repository:

git://git.eclipse.org/gitroot/jdt/eclipse.jdt.ui.git 

and checkout the BETA_JUNIT5 branch.

• Import these projects in your workspace: org.eclipse.jdt.ui, org.eclipse.jdt.junit, org.eclipse.jdt.junit.core, org.eclipse.jdt.junit.runtime, org.eclipse.jdt.junit4.runtime, org.eclipse.jdt.junit5.runtime.

• Restart Eclipse. The workspace should not have any error now.

To try out the JUnit 5 support, use one of the following:

• Go to File > Export... > Deployable plug-ins and fragments. Here, select all the imported plug-ins and choose "Install into host. Repository:" under "Destination". Click Finish. It will install these plug-ins into your Eclipse IDE. You can now exit this setup workspace. Open a new workspace with this Eclipse IDE and try out the JUnit 5 support in it.

Or,

• Launch a runtime Eclipse application and try out the JUnit 5 support in the launched workspace.
