Are you saying that you're trying to run JUnit as an app? If so, that's not what you're meant to do

as it is junit no need of junit right. but it got resolved when i added JUnit Library later(initially i added junit as external library as in screenshot in original question which did not resolve the issue though). my question is difference between adding as Library and adding as external jar?
