IDEA does what I hoped Eclipse would do. I can run a Test (class), a
single test method, or just tell it to run the whole folder. It walks
package trees as well.

Hello Geir,
Ant script is good for build system. However, it's more
simple/convenient for developers to run AllTests in Eclipse.
I didn't believe you, because selecting a folder (or selecting multiple
tests) and having all tests run is such an obvious feature, it *had* to
just work. So I went and tested it myself. Alas. You're right.
I wonder if it's some vestige of TDD extremos making a point. (I was
reading on JUnit site about AllTests, and how "early adopters" (IOW,
"users") of JUnit who grew up w/o AllTests thought they were nuts, but
the authors Knew Better.)
Ok - so I'll keep using **/*/Test for the general build system, I guess,
and anyone that happens to use Eclipse can throw in the AllTests hack
for themselves...?
I don't remember what IDEA does... need to go check...

I notice that there are "AllTests" classes in luni, for example, that
use the TestSuite approach.
Why use this mechanism if the intention is all tests anyway? Just
curious. I can see using it for things like performance (maybe) or
grouping important and interesting subsets, but I'm used to
configuring ant to do an **/*Test.java and then it's just "drop in
and go".
