JUnit on os x, CLASSPATH incorrect?

[Angry Moth Town]

Hey everyone,

Following instructions I found online, I have downloaded
junit-4.4.jar, and placed it in ~/Library/Java/ on my system running
OS X Leopard.

I created and edited my ~/.profile to read:

export CLASSPATH="~/Library/Java/junit-4.4.jar"

and now I can 'echo $CLASSPATH' and get:
~/Library/Java/junit-4.4.jar

As a test to see if everything is setup correctly, the reference I was
using suggested I run:
java org.junit.runner.JUnitCore org.junit.tests.AllTests

but I receive the error:Exception in thread "main"
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: /Users/mothtown/Library/Java/org/junit/
runner/JUnitCore

Any tips on what I'm doing wrong? My source online could be
completely off, but I'm not sure what else to do. Thanks in advance
for any guidance.

runner/JUnitCore

Does this path exist?

Does this path exist?

Yes, so far as I am able to verify. The path /Users/mothtown/Library/
Java/ is the location of junit-4.4.jar

Your classpath is ~/Library/...
Try not to use ~

export CLASSPATH="/Users/mothtown/Library/Java/junit-4.4.jar"

As a test to see if everything is setup correctly, the reference I was
using suggested I run:
java org.junit.runner.JUnitCore org.junit.tests.AllTests

Calling with relying on the CLASSPATH-variable is "bad style". Be
on the save side and call it using
java -cp ~/Library/Java/junit-4.4.jar org.junit.runner.JUnitCore org.junit.tests.AllTests

This should work.
