Question

I need to do some per-suite initialisation (starting a web-server). It is working fine except that when I run all tests in my project in eclipse my tests run twice. My test

I have an idea for you. Actually you do not want to run these test case as stand-alone test cases. You can do the following.

Mark the test cases with annotation @RunWith(DoNothingRunner.class)

Implment DoNothingRunner as following:

public class DoNothingRunner extends Runner {
    public Description getDescription() {
              return "do nothing";
        }
    public void run(RunNotifier notifier) {
            // indeed do nothing
        }
}

I have not tried this personally but I hope this will work.
