Description asleson 2006-01-26 15:29:14 UTC 
Other popular IDE's (Eclipse, IDEA) allow users to simply right-click on any
class that is a JUnit TestCase or TestSuite and run the test as JUnit.  The test
is run in a nice GUI that has the traditional red/green status bar.

NetBeans appears to have similar functionality for "native" NetBeans projects
but not for free-form projects.  This is a limitation.  Yes, I know that an Ant
task can be written to run the desired tests, but it's not as convenient as
being able to click on any TestCase or TestSuite and run the test.

Maybe it would be nice to add a "JUnit" window, similar to the Projects and
Files and Runtime Window?  The JUnit window could maybe allow users to add test
classes to it, and then run tests by double-clicking and showing the results
right there in the window.
