How to run a selected set of unit tests in Eclipse with one mouseclick?

Question

I want to create a launcher/run configuration which runs only the JUnit tests in a selected set of test classes or selected set of packages. Now it looks like I'll have to create separate run configurations for each of my packages containing the tests I want to run. I also have a recollection of this working in older versions of Eclipse.

And yes, I know: The tests should be organized so that I wouldn't have this problem but reorganizing source folders right now is not an option.

I'm using Eclipse 3.4.2.

Answer 1

You could add a test suite for the selected tests.

I would put them in a separate source folder, as otherwise tests will be run multiple times, once for the original test and once for each suite it is in.

Answer 2

Hod do I run a JUnit test suite in Eclipse? Yes, organizing the source folders in a sane way should be done, but it would be a massive amount of work for this project (the build files are a royal mess) and we can't afford that right now.

You choose your TestSuite and press Alt+Shift+X, T or do Run -> Run As -> JUnit Test.
