Unit test with JUnit

Question

Hi all,
I use Eclipse IDE: Eclipse Java EE IDE for Web Developers. Version: Indigo Release
I use JUnit 4. For project properties> Java Build Path> Libraries: I have JUnit4 added. Also under the same tab: Maven Dependencies> I have junit-4.8.2.jar
In pom.xml I have:
<dependency>
      <groupId>junit</groupId>
      <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
      <version>4.8.2</version>
      <scope>test</scope>
    </dependency>Basically, I’m writing unit tests using JUnit in the past few months! All I needed to do was to create a test class, add a test method like below:
@Test
public void testMethod(){
          // Some test code
}Right click on method, Run As> JUnit Test
That’s all I needed to do to either run my unit test or do Debug As> Junit Test to debug my unit test.
All was fine with the world! Starting yesterday, when I add a new test method in a test class, and then do: Right click on method, Run As> JUnit Test
Nothing happens! I cannot run or debug any test anymore! Meaning I cannot add any new unit test!
Let me also add that after I add my test method, I do a clean build thru Eclipse and Eclipse sees the newly complied class which contains my new test method.
Since none of my configurations changed, I have no idea what went wrong!
Does anybody has any idea? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, I have an idea: Post your code. I for one am not going to my waste my time speculating and guessing.Could also just be IDE crud. I've had similar problems with older versions of Eclipse. Never with current ones though.
OP: eclipse creates run/debug configurations for each class. If you search around a little you should find the dialog, I don't know the exact name. I think you can reach it from the "run as" menu options. You should try clearing the settings of your test suite to see if that changes anything.
