Running each JUnit test in a separate JVM in Eclipse?

Question

I have a project with nearly 500 individual tests in around 200 test classes. Some of these tests don\'t do a great job of tearing down their own state after they\'re finish

Answer 1

I also had similar needs and developed small maven plugin Jute which has been published in maven central. It starts external JVM process for each JUnit test method.

Answer 2

If you use Ant in Eclipse, you can set the JUnit task to fork a new JVM process for each test, providing isolation.
