title: How to get Junit 4 to ignore a Base Test Class?
body: <p>I have a base class for many tests that has some helper methods they all need.</p>
  
  <p>It does not by itself have any tests on it, but JUnit (in eclipse) is invoking the test runner on it and complaining that there are no methods to test.</p>
  
  <p>How can I make it ignore this class?</p>
  
  <p>I know I could add a <code>dummyTest</code> method that would solve the problem, but it would also appear for all the children classes.</p>
  
  <p>Suggestions?</p>
