Arquillian for Blackbox Selenium testing

Question

I am trying to use Arquillian / Graphene for my selenium blackbox testing. I would like to use arquillian along with testng.

I do not use any jboss/tomcat. I would like to run my tests as standalone tests as we do in testng.

My test is very simple.

import org.jboss.arquillian.testng.Arquillian;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;

public class Test2 extends Arquillian{
  @Test(description = "Login")
  public void f1() {
      System.out.println("T2 - F1 : *********************testing******************");
  }
}

But i get this exception. I do not have any clue on this. Please help.

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.jboss.arquillian.container.test.spi.client.deployment.AuxiliaryArchiveAppender

It looks like arquillian-container-test-spi.jar is not present in your classpath. Just add it.
