Issue in Version-3.0 :
When user tries to fetch the test data using "Data Driven Framework - XML", by mistake if wrong file type is set as parameter to read the test data. Framework doesn't read test data, by looking into the eclipse ide console it is difficult to trace the root cause of the issue. Since the "Data Driven Framework - XML" doesn't validate the test data file type.

Fixed in Version-3.0.1:
"Data Driven Framework - CSV" validates the file type passed as parameter is valid or not.

Set the "AH-DDF-3.0.1.jar" in java build path.
