Developers want to mark tests as @Ignored

[jmoore]

Currently there's no way to ignore a test other than changing the class or method names (cf. JUnit 3.8) Though this is annoying, the real problem is that one can forget to change it back. With the likes of JUnit4 and Testng one can add an @Ignore annotation to the class(?)/method and a warning will be output on testing.

This will require Java5 for testing even non-Java5 components.

We had planned to use JUnit4 but apparenty it doesn't currently work with Ant (See http://www.jguru.com/forums/view.jsp?EID=1290268). If there's no disagreement, let's try out testng until the JUnit4 dust settles.

• #36 closed.
• #37 closed.
• #38 closed.

Tests marked "broken" or "ignore" now will be skipped by ant. (As mentioned in #38, you may need to do some configuring in Eclipse to make that work for you.)

Woo hoo.
