So I'm trying to debug a problem with JUnit and a friend's Eclipse install. He's been fighting with it for hours: he's checked newsgroups, he's installed old versions. He's sure that his particular install of JUnit and Eclipse is--must be!--broken.
I ask him to confirm that the system basically works. Can he run any other code? Can he get stuff up and going?
He can't. IT's not just JUnit, it's some bigger misconfiguration. And from there he's off and running.
Yodalike, I write:
