I also have the same "problem". I was not doing unit testing, but everyone else is. I finally said to myself: "Self, you must do unit testing." and self replied by saying "No problem, it is just that it is too damn hard." and I said: "Self, don't worry because we use Ant and that makes the job easy. Plus, you now understand what the unit part of unit testing really means." And self thought about it and appearantly agreed. Hence I am now writing unit tests for projects at work and for open source projects and it is nice to be able to see them run properly time and time again. I am still teetering on whether unit testing is appropriate for testing web application flow, but I don't have another open source solution at this time which makes me smile. My own solution [LogiTest - http://www.logitest.org/] is on hold for lack of a decent free HTML renderer written in Java (and let's not start the discussion on that, ok).
If you wanna see something really slick, in intellij bind Ctl+T to "Test", point your mouse at any node in the tree, hit Ctl+T and it runs unit tests in that directory and all subdirectories. Theres also an option in project properties where you can tell it to use the text-based junit runner instead of the swing version.
