title: JUnit @Ignore usefulness?
body: <p>In JUnit you can use <code>@Ignore</code> before methods to tell the test runner to automatically skip those tests.  From what I can gather, this is really only a convenient way to document/mark off incomplete/no longer functional tests that you want to get back to later.</p>
  
  <p>Am I correct in saying then, that at runtime there is no difference between an <code>@Ignore</code> test, a method with no annotation, and a commented out method?  (Assuming these tests are all self contained.)  Is there some way to obtain a list of the ignored test cases in JUnit on Netbeans?  If not, how much usefulness does the <code>@Ignore</code> tag really have, since it might be more useful to fail the test so it's not overlooked?</p>
