Usage of a own testTunner

[eclipse.beginner]

Hello,

I want to write my own junit4 runner, to add my testListener.

I want to extend the TestclassRunner, because this class contains a lot of functionality, which I want to have. And so I must only override the run(RunNotifier)methode to add my own testListener.

But the problem is, that this class is in the org.junit.internal.runners package, which is be discouraged.

When I now use this I get a classDefNotFoundException.

Which not internal  runner has a similar functionality?
Or how can I also use my own listener (extends RunListener).

org.junit.runners.BlockJUnit4ClassRunner seems to be the best choice.  From the documentation:

  "BlockJUnit4ClassRunner has advantages for writers of custom JUnit
   runners that are slight changes to the default behavior"

Hi. Have you looked at the new TestWatchman rule released in JUnit 4.7
to see if this'll fit your needs? Or a custom rule entirely?
