Required JAR files
Table 1. JARs used by SQLUnit
| Software and Version | How it is used | Licensing | URL | Required | Included |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Java 1.4 or later | SQLUnit is written using Java 1.4_02, so you will need to install the JRE if you are just going to use it, or the JDK if you are going to do development with it. | Proprietary but free for download and use | http://java.sun.com | Yes | No |
| Ant 1.6 or later | Ant is used to build the SQLUnit package. An ant task is provided to run SQLUnit from within Ant. | Apache License | http://ant.apache.org | Yes, although you can also just call it from the command line with java. | No |
| JUnit 3.7 or later | SQLUnit is really a specialized JUnit test class. It is needed to run SQLUnit. | Common Public License Version 1.0 | http://www.junit.org/index.htm | Yes | Yes |
| JDOM 1.0 or later | SQLUnit uses JDOM to do its XML parsing and rendering. | Apache License | http://www.jdom.org | Yes | Yes |
| Apache Log4J 1.2.8 or higher | This is used for logging in SQLUnit. | Apache License | http://logging.apache.org/log4j/docs | Yes | Yes |
| Apache Xerces-J 1.4.4 | Used by Canoo WebTest | http://xml.apache.org/xerces-j/ | Yes | Yes | |
| MockRunner 0.2.7 | SQLUnit uses this to set up and run a set of Mock tests against a Mock database that consists of method calls which are introspected. | Apache style license | http://mockrunner.sourceforge.net | No. This is only needed if you want to run the mock test suite to make sure everything worked. | Yes |
| Apache Commons-Lang | Used by MockRunner | Apache License | http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/ | No, see above. | Yes |
| XDoclet 1.2.1 | SQLUnit uses XDoclet to convert source code annotations into Docbook XML which is then included in this document. | BSD License | http://xdoclet.sourceforge.net | No, only needed to generate the documentation. | No |
| Apache Jalopy 0.6.2 | SQLUnit uses Jalopy to provide a guide for coding conventions used in SQLUnit. Contributed code typically passes through Jalopy to get reformatted before inclusion. | BSD License | http://jalopy.sourceforge.net | No, only needed to reformat contributed code before submission. | No |
| Apache Checkstyle 3.4 | SQLUnit uses CheckStyle to audit code style on an ongoing basis. The checks that have been configured are a union of the sun_checks.xml and BlochEffectiveJava.xml files supplied with the distribution. Some checks have been relaxed or eliminated where it did not match the coding style for SQLUnit. | LGPL | http://checkstyle.sourceforge.net | Yes, if you plan on making code contributions. | No |
| JavaCC 3.2 | SQLUnit uses JavaCC to generate a parser for include files based on the grammar specified in the IncludeFileParser.jj. | BSD License | https://javacc.dev.java.net | Yes | Yes |
| Apache Commons JEXL 1.0 | SQLUnit uses JEXL as the Expression parser and evaluator for its ExpressionMatcher matcher. | Apache License | http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/jexl/ | Yes | Yes |
| Apache Commons Logging 1.0 | JEXL needs Apache Logging as a runtime dependency. | Apache License | http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/logging/ | Yes | Yes |
 | JAR files for open source databases, such as MySQL and PostgreSQL, which used to be supplied with the distribution, have been removed. This is because SQLUnit has shifted to using the MockRunner project to build its own mock database to run its tests instead of running them against popular databases. Users of databases already have the corresponding JDBC drivers installed, so providing them did not make much sense anyway. |
