I don’t know why I haven’t blogged on this before but that’s it, I was added as a developer of the JMUnit project three weeks ago. I posted in the JMUnit forum about the patch I made to avoid the TestSuite execution problem and four days after I was discussing JMUnit 2 features with Carl A. Meijer (one of the administrators of JMUnit). Carl was kind enough to contact me, suggest me how to enhance the patch runners and include me as a member of the project. Not only I am enjoying working on JMUnit but I am also learning a lot in the process. Thank you Carl!
JMUnit 2 looks promising and JMUnit 1 users will love the new release. It will include new features, solve known problems, as the TestSuite execution one, be more convenient to use and, besides that, porting your old tests will be plain and simple. The code is almost finished and the delay in releasing it will lie in the proof-of-concept plug-ins we want to include for Eclipse and NetBeans.
Hopefully, you will be able to use JMUnit 2 soon.
Nice work. But why didn’t you publish the modified jar? (I’ll be back here to post the link, when I’m finished with downloading all the Java crap.)

Thank you!
I guess you are talking about JMUnit Revised. I never thought of distributing the jar as the sources are easy to patch&build
Anyway I have added a ZIP file to the project’s downloads page that contains the patch and a JAR file corresponding to the CLDC 1.1 JMUnit 1.2.1 modified sources.

True, I commented on the wrong post. I already went through all the pain too. So just in case it’s any different I put a ZIP link in my Website field.

It works! I hope Your patch will make it to the mainstream.

I’m glad you find it useful.
The patch won’t make it because JMUnit 2 already solves this problem
The problem with JMUnit 2 is that it hasn’t been released yet but I think it will be out before this year ends.

Hi!
I know this post is kind of old. I just wanna know (guessing you are going to read this) if the JMUnit is still on development. What happened with JMUnit 2? I’m not sure to use it in a project as it seems kind of abandoned.

Hi David,
by the time JMUnit 2 was going to be released I started working a new job unrelated to mobile applications and lost track of the project. If I recall correctly the code was ready to be used but you should ask Carl Meijer [1] if you want to be sure. Anyway I encourage you to try it by yourself, the code is documented and easy to follow so it shouldn’t be difficult to overcome any obstacle you find. And you could always use JMUnit 1.2 and patch it if you need to use TestSuites [2].
