Is it possible to use the TestNG plugin with Netbeans 6.8?

[Richard Terry]

I downloaded the TestNG NetBeans Plugin and tried to install it in my NetBeans 6.8. I'm running NetBeans IDE 6.8 (Build 200912041610).
When I click install, I get this message:

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Some plugins require plugin External Execution Support to be installed.
The plugin External Execution Support is requested in version >= 1.19 but only 1.18.1 was found.
The following plugin is affected: TestNG Support

Some plugins not installed to avoid potential installation problems.

Is it possible to use the TestNG plugin with Netbeans 6.8? The plugin manager doesn't even seem to know about any of the dependency plugins. Is the TestNG plugin build against a beta or experimental version? I have updated all of my plugins to the latest versions.

Thanks!

I am having the exact same problem. Any body knows how to fix it?

The problem is that the binary on the plugin page appears to be linked to the Netbeans 6.9 version under development. See here.

I manually built the plugin from the 6.8 branch. The good news is, I was able to install the plugin. The bad news is, when I run the test ant task, even though I can see the test output, the TestNG view always says "No tests executed."

Any thoughts about what might be wrong?
