Having trouble with XTest

[David Van Couvering-2]

I want to add XTest support to my existing module.  All the right files appear to be there, and XTest shows up on the menu for the project (e.g. XTest->Run Unit Tests).  But when I try to run my unit tests I get:

Users/David/code/netbeans/trunk/main/nbbuild/templates/xtest.xml:69: taskdef class org.netbeans.xtest.usertasks.XTestActionTask cannot be found

I looked, and XTest is not available from the Plugins "Available" tab nor is it shown as installed.  Something's definitely off here.  Any tips much appreciated...

Thanks,

David

It's my understanding that XTest is going away in the future in favor
of a much simpler approach:

    http://wiki.netbeans.org/FitnessTestsWithoutX

Work on this is already underway, so if you're working on a trunk
build, that might explain it.  In that case, I'd suggest filing a bug
report to have the XTest context menu removed, although I guess maybe
it is still needed to support older platform apps which still use
XTest.

Try

ant -f xtest/build.xml
