Is there a way to do this? I understand that having this need reveals a deeper problem in my unit tests themselves (ie they are not actually unit tests, but functional or they are just plain bad, bad I tell you!), but please humor me
You can skip tests by annotating them with @Ignore.
You can't order tests (if order means: decide in which order they run; JUnit does not guarantee a specific order of execution), but you can group tests as described in Lasse's weblog.
Yes, I realize that. I was just wondering if there is some easy way to do it. I did stumble upon ct-eclipse, but there is are no files available for downloading. I was hoping if somebody knew of an alternative.
