Re: [ajdt-dev] Running JUnit tests

["Ron Bodkin" <rbodkin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I tried to run AJDT 1.1.4 in Eclipse 3.0M3 on Windows XP and it gave me an NPE (see below). I didn't report it because I assumed that 3.0 compatibility wasn't yet being tackled. But when I fixed the project set up just now (by defining missing variables) it compiled successfully, so it looks like AJDT does basically work in 3.0M3. Should we be reporting bugs like this one for AJDT+3.0M3?
