Problem with JUnit Testing from Command Prompt

Question

Hi There,
Related Info:
OS - Windows 7 32 Bit, IDE Used: Eclipse
I'm using the following command to compile the java file from the command prompt:
C:\Users\J\Desktop> javac -classpath .:junit.jar check4PrimeTest.java
I get the error: "package junit.framework does not exist import junit.framework.*;"
How can i fix this?
I have downloaded junit from junit.org the 'junit4.10' and extracted in my Java Folder along side jdkjdk1.7.0_03, jre6, jre7.
I will post my code below for the 'check4PrimeTest.java' file which im trying to test from the command prompt.
package check4prime;
// check4PrimeTest.java
//Imports
import junit.framework.*;
public class check4PrimeTest extends TestCase {
     //Initialize a class to work with.
     private check4Prime check4prime = new check4Prime();
     //constructor
     public check4PrimeTest (String name) {
          super(name);
     //Main entry point
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          System.out.println("Starting test...");
          junit.textui.TestRunner.run(suite());
          System.out.println("Test finished...");
     } // end main()
     //Test case 1
     public void testCheckPrime_true() {
          assertTrue(check4prime.primeCheck(3));
     //Test cases 2,3
     public void testCheckPrime_false() {
          assertFalse(check4prime.primeCheck(0));
          assertFalse(check4prime.primeCheck(1000));
     //Test case 7
     public void testCheck4Prime_checkArgs_char_input() {
          try {
               String [] args= new String[1];
               args[0]="r";
               check4prime.checkArgs(args);
               fail("Should raise an Exception.");
          } catch (Exception success) {
               //successful test
     } //end testCheck4Prime_checkArgs_char_input()
     //Test case 5
     public void testCheck4Prime_checkArgs_above_upper_bound() {
          try {
               String [] args= new String[1];
               args[0]="10001";
               check4prime.checkArgs(args);
               fail("Should raise an Exception.");
          } catch (Exception success) {
               //successful test
     } // end testCheck4Prime_checkArgs_upper_bound()
     //Test case 4
     public void testCheck4Prime_checkArgs_neg_input() {
          try {
               String [] args= new String[1];
               args[0]="-1";
               check4prime.checkArgs(args);
               fail("Should raise an Exception.");
          } catch (Exception success) {
               //successful test
     } // end testCheck4Prime_checkArgs_neg_input()
     //Test case 6
     public void testCheck4Prime_checkArgs_2_inputs() {
          try {
               String [] args= new String[2];
               args[0]="5";
               args[1]="99";
               check4prime.checkArgs(args);
               fail("Should raise an Exception.");
           } catch (Exception success) {
               //successful test
     } // end testCheck4Prime_checkArgs_2_inputs
     //Test case 8
     public void testCheck4Prime_checkArgs_0_inputs() {
          try {
               String [] args= new String[0];
               check4prime.checkArgs(args);
               fail("Should raise an Exception.");
          } catch (Exception success) {
               //successful test
     } // end testCheck4Prime_checkArgs_0_inputs
     //JUnit required method.
     public static Test suite() {
          TestSuite suite = new TestSuite(check4PrimeTest.class);
          return suite;
     } //end suite()
} //end check4PrimeTestEdited by: 963042 on Oct 3, 2012 8:57 PM

javac -cp .;junit.jar check4PrimeTest.java
And use -cp to save you some typing ;) If you want to incorporate unit testing into your builds I would suggest looking into automating it a little more through tool such as ant, maven, etc.
