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

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

You need junit-dep jar because the junit jar has a copy of old Hamcrest classes

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

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

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
