How to create own annotation for junit that will skip test if concrete exception was thrown during execution?

Question

My application have several execution modes, and in 1 mode it is normal that some of my tests will throw a concrete exception. I need to annotate this methods with something

Answer 1

I searched for the docs about JUnit and it appears that from version 4.9 they have introduced what they call test rules (see TestRule). You may start from this.

The ExpectedException class marked as @Rule could be of some help in order to check for exceptions thrown but not mandatory for the test to pass.

For more advanced usage I cannot say for the moment as I've just discovered it.
