Note: jfcUnit requires the following:

  1. jUnit 3.7 (or greater); and
  2. Jakarta RegExp 1.2 (or greater).

Unzip the jfcUnit zip file into a suitable location. Next add in the required jar files to your CLASSPATH. E.g.

UNIX:
CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/path-to-junit/junit.jar:/path-to-jfcunit/jfcunit.jar:/path-to-jakarta_regexp/jakarta-regexp-1.2.jar
export CLASSPATH
WINDOWS:
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;\path-to-junit\junit.jar;\path-to-jfcunit\jfcunit.jar;\path-to-jakarta_regexp\jakarta-regexp-1.2.jar

Voila! You are done!
