如何在不使用Maven的情况下设置Selenium WebDriver？

Question

I am currently working on a very complex Selenium RC framework. It was set up before i got to use it by some other guy who is now not reachable. My plan is to upgrade to WebDriver. For this i will need to be able to use the old RC API, so i will use RemoteWebDriver. Is there any JAR that i can download that contains everything needed for my plan? And what if from now on the new tests that I will rite i want to use FireFoxDriver, IExplorerDriver and Chrome Driver? What are all the JARs that I need to download, where do i take them from and whow do I set them up correctly?

Answer 1

I always refer to the google code page since i feel more comfortable with it, and also contains always the latest updates.

http://code.google.com/p/selenium/downloads/list

Copy-paste from the documentation:

selenium-java-2.20.0.zip
The Java bindings for Selenium 2, including the WebDriver API and the Selenium RC clients. Download this if you plan on just using the client-side pieces of Selenium

selenium-server-2.20.0.zip
All variants of the Selenium Server: stand-alone, jar with dependencies and sources.

EDIT Regarding how to set it up, if you are using eclipse
right click your project -> click properties -> java build path -> Add external jars

Answer 2

A better approach would be using WebDriverBackedSelenium to use goodies of both Selenium and webdriver. This may also reduce your time in upgradation. Sample code:

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
Selenium selenium = new WebDriverBackedSelenium(driver, "http://www.yoursite.com");
