[Bluej-discuss] bluej and user defined annotations

[Davin McCall]

Hi,

Could it be that you have created a BlueJ project without the 
appropriate package hierarchy? That is, that you have a project with 
this TestCase annotation inside it, but it's not inside a package 
dev.utest.core (although it's declared to be)? This would mightily 
confuse the compiler. (To clarify, inside your project's "unnamed" 
package there should be a "dev" sub-package, and inside that there 
should be a "utest" sub-package, with a "core" sub-package inside that, 
which should contain the TestCase interface).

If that's not the issue, then I guess the next obvious question is: 
where is TestType actually defined?
