How can I create stub Junit tests in Eclipse?

Question

Is there a simple way of creating stubs for Junit4 tests in Eclipse (Galileo)?

Answer 1

If you want to create a stub implementation of an interface, then

1. Create your stub class
2. write implements MyInterface
3. click on the red icon on the left (or press CTRL+1) and choose "add unimplemented methods"

A more generic approach is, when you create your class, and add extends / implements, go to Source > Override/Implement methods. The downside is you will have to clear some super calls.

Answer 2

Right click on a class/file in the package explorer, then new-> JUnit Test Case. Then a dialog opens and if you click the next button it allows you to check which methods to automatically create the stubs for.

Answer 3

You might also look into Fast Code Eclipse Plugin. Once you configure you can generate junit/testng test by selecting the class or any method. Also gives you way to navigate from a method to all the tests. The popup dialog doesn't appear every time.
