Integration Testing in eclipse

Is there any good plugins in eclipse that does integration testing? To test method calls between specified classes.

There's built in support for JUnit (http://www.junit.org/) and this article explains using it within Eclipse (http://www.junit.org/node/49).

There's nothing about JUnit that limits you to writing unit tests.  You can easily write integration tests - where your test classes just calls to methods in other classes.

I have two classes, and one of them is calling a method from the other. I want to do an integration testing for this.
Class FirstClass{

 public void openDocument(URL url) throws Exception {
        // Originally, this method determined external application, with which the document
        // should be opened. Which application should open which document type was
        // configured in Vmap properties file. As a result, Vmap tried to solve the
        // problem (of determining application for a file type), which should better be
        // solved somewhere else. Indeed, on Windows, this problem is perfectly solved by
        // Explorer. On KDE, this problem is solved by Konqueror default browser. In
        // general, most WWW browsers have to solve this problem.

        // As a result, the only thing we do here, is to open URL in WWW browser.

        if (osName.substring(0,3).equals("Win")) {
            String propertyString = new String("default_browser_command_windows");

            // parameter - it is because of "=" character, which causes

I have to test the coupling between these classes.
  if (url.getProtocol().equals("file")) {
                    command = "rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler "+Tools.urlGetFile(url);
                } else if (url.toString().startsWith("mailto:")) {


The method Tools.urlGetFile(url) is in the Tools method. How do i go about with the integration testing. This is what I have done so far but i believe it is more of a unit test than an integration test. Can someone guide me through the integration testing?
@Test
      public void T2() throws MalformedURLException {
            try{
                  URL url=new URL("http://www.yahoo.com/edinburgh/lothian/warrender");
                  
                  m_vmap.openDocument(url);
                  
                  String urlInTools = m_cCountField.urlGetFile(url);
                  System.out.println("URLGetFile: "+urlInTools);
                  // formatter.format(url);
                  //assertEquals("/edinburgh/lothian/warrender",urlInTools);
            }
            catch(Exception e) {
                  System.out.println("Error Found: "+e);
                  assertTrue(true);
            }
      }

Thank you. I did something similar to what you have done, is this integration as well?
public void testCouplingPath() throws MalformedURLException{
		
		//Testing for the operating System
		String ExpectedSystemOS = "Win";
		String osName = System.getProperty("os.name");
		String actualSystemOS = osName.substring(0,3);
		assertEquals("System OS type",ExpectedSystemOS, actualSystemOS);
		
		//Testing for the url protocol
		URL url = new URL("file://www.gambia.west.africa.gm");
		String urlProtocol = url.getProtocol();
		String expectedProtocol = "file";
		assertEquals("URL Protocol",expectedProtocol,urlProtocol);
		
		//testing for the Tools.urlGetFile(url)
		String urlGetFileReturns = Tools.urlGetFile(url);
		String expectedURLReturn = "\\\\www.gambia.west.africa.gm";
		assertEquals("urlGetFile return answer",expectedURLReturn,urlGetFileReturns);
		
	
	}

That looks like a good test but it's still really just a unit test for urlGetFile() and some parts of the openDocument() method.

I think to make it a full integration test you just need to add a call to:
FirstClass.openDocument(url);
probably at the end of the test.

Since openDocument() doesn't actually return anything, it's hard to test it's behavior - except that a call to it doesn't throw an exception.
