JUnit Tests (How To) - Websphere/Eclipse

Question

I'm about to start looking into using JUnit to test some db resultset timings. As I haven't really dived into this before, I'm looking for some guidance.
Can someone post an example of how I would use JUnit to test the timing of a resultset or the timing of a procedure.
I could just do a simple timed test, but I want to start using JUnit.
Where:
<start timing>
do a bunch of really wild stuff
<end timing>
Thanks.

JUnit isn't meant for performance timing. There's nothing to stop you from doing it, of course.
JUnit might be pertinent if you had a metric that would define success or failure of your "really wild stuff".
But timing would be more the province of JMeter or another performance measurement tool.
With that said, Eclipse handles JUnit tests easily. Just have the JUnit JAR in your project's build path. Open the debug view and you can run any JUnit test in your project.
I have an Ant build.xml that runs all the tests in my projects automatically and generates reports for viewing in a Web browser. That's a great way to go, IMO.
