Well, I hit Enter and the bug was sent without a description, I guess that's another thing to solve...

Anyway, I think the IDE should read all the test categories (in JUnit annotated with @Category) and present the user with a dialog with all the categories listed in a JTreeTable in which the user could select which categories to run. The dialog I am thinking of would be very similar to the find & replace scope selection: parent categories will have their children nested, and the user could enable/disable which one(s) to run.
This feature could be optional, so users will be informed of the categories if needed.
