    The cause: This issue “java.lang.noclassdeffounderror: org/hamcrest/selfdescribing” is caused by the absence of hamcrest-core-1.3.jar from your classpath.

    Solution: To fix this, add hamcrest-core-1.3.jar to your classpath alongside junit-4.XX.jar. It will operate fine after adding to the classpath through command line.

    <root url="jar://$APPLICATION_HOME_DIR$/lib/junit-4.11.jar!/" />
<root url="jar://$APPLICATION_HOME_DIR$/lib/hamcrest-core-1.3.jar!/" />
<root url="jar://$APPLICATION_HOME_DIR$/lib/hamcrest-library-1.3.jar!/" />

  2. Add hamcrest-all-X.X.jar to classpath.

    Latest version as of Feb 2015 is 1.3: http://code.google.com/p/hamcrest/downloads/detail?name=hamcrest-all-1.3.jar&can=2&q=
