Hello,
The main application builds properly, but the test does not, even with the same set of jars defined. I’m not having a problem with the test itself, but rather that the jars are not being picked up in the path the test application. So far I haven’t found anything that works.
I would appreciate any ideas or suggestions on getting the test application to compile correctly.
If you have any questions, please free to ask.
Thanks,
Harlan…
