Re: [cinjug-users] Eclipse - Create an abstract subclass of a class w/o a default constructor. / running TestCase w/o constructor in Eclipse

[Brian Bonner <brian.bonner@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Amol/Scott,

As far as I can tell, Eclipse is using 3.8.1.  It's the same version 
that I have in the class path.  Amol, The default constructor is not 
public in 3.8.1.

Can you try this in your eclipse:

Try to create:

import junit.framework.TestCase;

public abstract class AbstractTestCase extends TestCase {

}
