As a general rule  always make sure hamcrest is before any other testing libraries on the classpath  as many such libraries include hamcrest classes and may therefore conflict with the hamcrest version you re using  This will resolve most problems of the type you re describing

It sounds like a classpath issue  so there are a few different ways to go about it  Where does org hamcret SelfDescribing come from  Is that your class or in a different jar    Try going to your project Build Path and on the Libraries tab  add a Library  You should be able to choose JUnit to your project  This is a little bit different than just having the JUnit jar file In your project    In your Run Configuration for the JUnit test  check the Classpath  You could probably fix this by adding making sure your Classpath can see that SelfDescribing class there  The Run option in Eclipse has a different set of options for the JUnit options

If this problem arise in a RCP project it can be because JUnit has been explicitly imported    Check the editor for your plugin xml under Dependencies tab  remove the org junit from the Imported Packages and add org junit to the Required Plug-ins

The problem is when you set up eclipse to point to JRE instead of JDK  JRE has junit4 jar in the lib ext folder  but not hamcrest jar    So the solution is to check installed JREs in Eclipse  remove the existing one and create a new one pointing to your JDK

The hamcrest-core-1 3 jar available on maven repository is deprecated  Download working hamcrest-core-1 3 jar from official Junit4 github link   If you want to download from maven repository  use latest hamcrest-XX jar   lt dependency gt       lt groupId gt org hamcrest lt  groupId gt       lt artifactId gt hamcrest lt  artifactId gt       lt version gt 2 2 lt  version gt       lt scope gt test lt  scope gt   lt  dependency gt

This happens when you run Ant via command line  The implicit user dependencies are added in the classpath at the end and take precedence over the project-added classpath  Run Ant with -nouserlib flag  The implicit dependencies would be excluded from the classpath

This problem is because of your classpath miss hamcrest-core-1 3 jar  To resolve this add hamcrest-core-1 3 jar as you add junit-4 XX jar into your classpath   At first  I encounter this problem too  but after I refer to the official site and add hamcrest-core-1 3 jar into classpath with command line  it works properly finally   javac -d             bin  -cp   libs junit-4 12 jar  home limxtop projects algorithms bin  MaxHeapTest java   java -cp             bin   home limxtop libs junit-4 12 jar  home limxtop libs hamcrest-core-1 3 jar org junit runner JUnitCore com limxtop heap MaxHeapTest
