When configuring Eclipse project for Tomcat 8 via "ant ide-eclipse" command, as documented at [1], it does not download easymock library. The library is referenced in res/ide-support/eclipse/eclipse.classpath file. [1] http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.0-doc/building.html This issue was originally reported via documentation comments system at [1]. The "ide-eclipse" target downloads libraries used by build and by extras, but it does not download libraries used by test target.
Fixed in 8.0.x for 8.0.13 onwards.
Thank you. I ported the fix to Tomcat 7 in r1627231, it will be in 7.0.56. Tomcat 7 tests do not use easymock, but users say that they want to use the same version of junit and hamcrest libraries as used by Tomcat instead of ones provided by IDE, as the latter ones may be outdated. This change makes `ant ide-eclipse` target to download those libraries.
