If you want to run tests using the Eclipse TestNG plugin, you'll need to add these jars to the top of your TestNG classpath. Using the Run Dialog, select xml suite to run, and add /lib/test/jboss-embedded-all.jar, /lib/test/hibernate-all.jar, /lib/test/thirdparty-all.jar, /lib/embedded-api.jar, /lib/jboss-deployers.jar and /bootstrap as the first entries in the User classpath. To add tests to your project create a TestNG xml descriptor called *Test.xml e.g. FooTest.xml next to your test classes and run ant test.
