For testing reasons, most of my JUnit tests have a main() method which=20
sets a
boolean standAlone=3Dtrue;
which is checked in the test methods.
If the class is executed as an application and not by the JUnit library,=20
it may well provide some testing output.

Is this a problem?

I don't want to duplicate the code of the test classes just to get some=20
classes which produce graphical debug output.

Of course, there might well be some tests where the graphical output=20
*itself* is tested. These should go into a special suite.

Cheers,

Chris
