[Openjmx-devel] JUnit flame

Ok, JUnit really sucks. REALLY.

Apart for very simple stuff, it is really not good.

So I thought, ok, should be extensible, and went to take a look at the =
code.
My god, a mess, a real mess.

These XP and pattern experts (Beck and Gamma) did an awful job.

You can find in Javadocs:
"Parts of this method was written at 2337 meters in the H=FCffih=FCtte, =
Kanton Uri".
Hey, Switzerland is beautiful, but this one burned his brain at that =
altitude, and wrote crappy stuff.

Has anyone tried to write tests so that some initialization code is run =
once per test class in an easy way (and please don't talk to me about =
TestSetup, another crappy thing) ?
This is only one of the missing pieces.

Wanna take a look to a bad design ?

Interface Test depends on class TestResult, ok this far.=20
Test should be the main interface for tests: wanna write a fully custom =
test ? just implement it.=20
You cannot, because TestResult depends on a subclass of Test, TestCase =
:(

And no separation between what the user implements and framework classes =
that run that implementation.

Sooner or later, I will replace it. Hurts me.
