Oh I see, what you need is access to the port so that you can do your own
calculations. I think that's fine really. I'd go with the static method for
encapsulation reasons (even if the attribute is set as 'final').

No, MAX_PORTS_USED would be defined in TestConfiguration as today.
My point was that parallel runners should be able to calculate port ranges
without the user having to specify how many ports are required per run.
Something like:
int basePort = getUserSpecifiedValue("baseport");
String[] suiteNames = AllPackages.getTopLevelSuiteNames();
// A smarter runner would use a port range pool, but this is just for
illustration :)
int[] basePorts = new int[suiteNames.length];
for (int i=0; i < basePorts.length; i++) {
basePorts[i] = basePort + (i * TestConfiguration.getMaxPortsUsed())
}
This way, I don't have to update my parallel run-script when someone adds a new
test that causes MAX_PORTS_USED to be incremented.
