Summary: JUnit testing on a class without test cases

Initial Comment:
If a class extends junit.TestCase, DrJava always assumes
that the class contains test methods.  If it does not
find any test method in the class, DrJava gives an error
upon running the tests.

This assumption may not always be appropriate because
it is sometimes useful to subclass TestCase and base
all other actual test cases on the subclass, instead
of subclassing directly from TestCase.  

Although the problem can be worked around by making
the class without test methods abstract, it would still
be nice not to fail in the case where a concrete
subclass of TestCase does not have any test methods.
