Problem
Although having the junit.jar on a JEE project, when running the junit test class, the following exception is generated:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/hamcrest/SelfDescribing
Solution
Goto http://www.jarfinder.com/
On the class search tab, search for the missing class shown on the stack trace output, typing:
org.hamcrest
On the output list it's shown newer versions.
Choose one, for instance junit-4.4.jar and download it using the jar search tab beside the class search tab.
Switch the older version of the jar file on the project by the newer one.
To check, refresh your project, rebuild if necessary.
On the junit class file, type part of the import statement to activate the autocomplete. For instance:
import org.hamc
At this point, if using netbeans or eclipse, the autocomplete will show the options.
If the options shown are respective to the missing class, the problem is solved and you're ready to run the junit class.
The same procedure can be used for such other problems.
