Missing IMethodRule in Test Driven Application

Question

Hi All,
              I am working on a test driven application in Flash Builder 4. I am getting 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: [org.flexunit.rules]::IMethodRule. error when I compile the application.
I am using :
Flash Builder 4 Premium Eclipse Plugin
Latest Flex SDK 4.5.1.21328
Please suggest if I am doing anything wrong.

As the saying goes, you can lead a horse to water but you cannot make it drink.
This is a principle I've found in many development teams. Especially "established" ones that have been working together for at least a year or so.
To suddenly introduce new practices and new standards... does not work. The bigger/more drastic or different the change, the more painful it is to implement properly.
So if the developers in the team are not committed to a TDD approach (in PL/SQL or whatever language used), and it is something new and different as far as the practices of that team goes... you may well ask yourself whether it is worth trying to enforce it. I've personally seen a whole dev team (and one of the better ones I've worked with) all resign in a period of 12 months due to being forced down a software development environment and cycle they simply did not accept.
So whatever approach you choose, you need to make sure that you have the full and complete buy-in of every single developer on that team, and the commitment to follow that approach. At the same time, you need to make the transition for them as painless as possible, and provide the checks and reviews to make sure that this approach is consistently followed until it becomes the SOP for the team members.
And no amount of fancy TOAD or this or that framework, will address this human accept and make TDD work.
