EasyMock - Environment Setup

EasyMock is a framework for Java, so the very first requirement is to have JDK installed in your machine.

System Requirement

Step 1: Verify Java Installation on Your Machine

Open the console and execute the following java command.

Let's verify the output for all the operating systems:

If you do not have Java installed, To install the Java Software Development Kit (SDK) click here.

We assume you have Java 1.6.0_21 installed on your system for this tutorial.

Step 2: Set JAVA Environment

Set the JAVA_HOME environment variable to point to the base directory location where Java is installed on your machine. For example,

Append the location of the Java compiler to your System Path.

Verify Java Installation using the command java -version as explained above.

Step 3: Download EasyMock Archive

To download the latest version of EasyMock click here.

Save the zip folder on your C drive, let's say, C:\>EasyMock.

Step 4: Download EasyMock Dependencies

Download the latest version of cglib jar file from https://github.com/cglib/cglib/releases and copy it onto C:\>EasyMock folder. At the time of writing this tutorial, the latest version was 3.1.

Download the latest version of objenesis zip file from http://objenesis.org/download.html and copy it onto C:\>EasyMock folder. At the time of writing this tutorial, the latest version was 2.1. Extract objenesis-2.1.jar to C:\>EasyMock folder

Step 5: Set EasyMock Environment

Set the EasyMock_HOME environment variable to point to the base directory location where EasyMock and dependency jars are stored on your machine. The following table shows how to set the environment variable on different operating systems, assuming we've extracted easymock-3.2.jar, cglib-3.1.jar, and objenesis-2.1.jar onto C:\>EasyMock folder.

Step 6: Set CLASSPATH Variable

Set the CLASSPATH environment variable to point to the location where EasyMock and dependency jars are stored. The following table shows how to set the CLASSPATH variable on different operating systems.

Step 7: Download JUnit Archive

Download the latest version of JUnit jar file from Github. Save the folder at the location C:\>Junit.

Step 8: Set JUnit Environment

Set the JUNIT_HOME environment variable to point to the base directory location where JUnit jars are stored on your machine. The following table shows how to set this environment variable on different operating systems, assuming we've stored junit4.11.jar and hamcrest-core-1.2.1.jar at C:\>Junit.

Step 9: Set CLASSPATH Variable

Set the CLASSPATH environment variable to point to the JUNIT jar location. The following table shows how it is done on different operating systems.
