We just started to use WTP for web application development and were
wondering about how to unit test these applications. You can have a
separate source folder for the unit tests, as you can have in any
regular Java project. However, the Java test classes are also getting
included in the WAR file. It's even worse if you have unit tests using
a dummy (HyperSonic or Derby) database instead of the production
database, as we do.
Is there a way to exclude the classes from some source folders from the
resulting WAR file? Or do we need to create a separate project to hold
the unit test for the war file?
Regards,

Larry,
In fact I hadn't specified a separate output folder for the unit tests.
After doing this and changing the order of the source folders in
'Order and export', everything works fine!
Thanks for helping us out with this,
