JUnitRunner not found in org.specs2.runner

[brandon-arnold]

I'm on Windows with the Scala Eclipse, and I'm trying to create this archetype. It should be the latest, net.alchim31.maven scala-archetype-simple version 1.6. For some reason the samples/specs.scala line 18,

    @RunWith(classOf[JUnitRunner])

Is throwing an error, not found: type JUnitRunner. I can see that the org.specs2.runner does not have a reference to this class. Can someone tell me which version of the library should reference, and why it isn't coming down by default from maven?

I got help from @etorreborre with the same issue raised here. The pom.xml dependencies section needs a reference to specs2-junit, viz:

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.specs2</groupId>
        <artifactId>specs2-junit_${scala.compat.version}</artifactId>
        <version>2.4.16</version>
        <scope>test</scope>
    </dependency>

@brandon-arnold Thanks for the solution.
