<h2>JUnit Integration</h2>
<p>
STX:LIBJAVA automatically recognizes <a href="http://www.junit.org">JUnit</a> test cases (and <a href="http://sourceware.org/mauve/">Mauve</a> testlets too, but you aren't using those probably :) when loaded and makes them accessible from standard Smalltalk/X Test Runner. Create Junit 3 or JUnit 4 test case, compile it and load it into STX:LIBJAVA. Test Runner can be opened by selecting the button on Smalltalk Launcher.
</p>
<p>
You might use <code>Java loadClassesIn: '/home/m/anyDirectory'</code>, which automatically adds that directory to the classpath and then loads all classes (therefore test cases too) in that directory into STX:LIBJAVA. Java must be initialized to use that method.
</p>
<h2>Groovy Workspace</h2>
<p>
<a href="http://groovy.codehaus.org">Groovy</a> is a dynamic language running on top of the Java, which syntax is backward compatible with Java. It includes an evaluator written in Java, which is used in Smalltalk/X workspace.You can evaluate any valid Groovy code in the workspace. <i>Aren't we running Groovy code, which runs on Java, which runs on stx:libjava, which runs on Smalltalk/X, which is written in C?</i>
</p>
<p>
Select Groovy from the workspace menu and insert arbitrary Groovy code (preferably magical 3 + 4), and hit <b>alt+p</b> to <b>print</b> the result or <b>alt+d</b> to <b>do it</b>.
</p>
<p>
<b>Note:</b> you can see Java in the menu too, but currently it uses Groovy. This is work in progress and dynamic (re)compilation of Java code is going to be a feature of stx:libjava very soon.
