[Xmlunit-general] Making XMLTestCase abstract?

[Stefan B. <bo...@ap...>]

Hi,

there is a Feature Request to make XMLTestCase abstract since
Eclipse's (and probably other's) TestRunner sees the class and tries
to run it as a test suite, which fails because it doesn't contain any
test cases.

I turned down the issue with "can't do it because of backwards
compatibility" but after having second and third thoughts I favor
making the class abstract now.

If people extend XMLTestCase they won't be hurt and anybody who
creates an instance of XMLTestCase most likely should better use
XMLAssert.

What do you think?

Stefan
