  The cause of this problem is the way that some of the .class files for inner classes in the junit/Tests directory have been chopped short somehow. The simple solution is to recompile these classes.
  
  Navigate to junit/tests and recompile the following java files.
  1) RepeatedTestTest.java
  2) TestImplementorTest.java
  3) ExceptionTestCaseTest.java
  4) ActiveTestTest.java
  
  All 90 tests should now run.

  I also got the same message when following the instructions
  
  Failed to invoke suite():java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: junit/tests/ExceptionTestCaseTest$ThrowRuntimeExceptionTestCase
  
  My best guess is this is a classpath problem but I also would like help is someone can be more specific. Could it be related to the fact I have junit on a separate volume from my home directory?

  The problem comes from the last line before the return in the JUnit included sample code. Comment it out, recompile, live happily ever after.
  
  More specifically, I am talking about the file "AllTests.java". Comment out the line,
  suite.addTest(junit.tests.AllTests.suite());
  
  Best,
