The eclipse DbUnit plugin in eclipse 3.3 is a shell project and is missing the DbUnit jars.
Because of this, the DbUnit Test Case wizard fails with the following error:

Creation of element failed.

In order to fix the problem we need to fetch the missing DbUnit jars by running the fetch-lib.xml ANT script in the DbUnit plugin directory (plugins/org.dbunit_2.2.0.200706071).

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<project default="main" basedir=".">
<target name="main">
 <mkdir dir="libs" />
 <property name="base.url" value="http://superb-west.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/dbunit"/>
 <get usetimestamp="true" src="${base.url}/dbunit-2.2.jar" dest="libs/dbunit-2.2.jar" />
 <get usetimestamp="true" src="${base.url}/dbunit-2.2.jar" dest="libs/dbunit-2.2-javadoc.jar" />
 <get usetimestamp="true" src="${base.url}/dbunit-2.2.jar" dest="libs/dbunit-2.2-sources.jar" />
 <eclipse.refreshLocal resource="org.dbunit" depth="4"/>
</target>
</project>

Another options is to download the DbUnit jar manually to the DbUnit libs plugin directory. We will need to copy the file to libs/dbunit-2.2.jar, libs/dbunit-2.2-javadoc.jar and libs/dbunit-2.2-sources.jar.
