Eclipse JUnit @Before annotation problem

Question

I'm experiencing some difficulties using JUnit 4.5 in Eclipse, when I use @Before annotation it just does nothing (I may use setUp() which works of course, but I'm just wondering what is wrong), while it works perfectly in Netbeans.. Any thoughts?

Answer 1

Because I cam here via a Google Search, and had to dig quite a bit deeper to see the actual solution: As @Pace said in the comments, if you extend TestCase, Eclipse treats the Test as JUnit Version 3 or older, and does not respect the @Before annotation - also descripred here: JUnit + Maven + Eclipse: Why @BeforeClass does not work?

Hence, removing the extend TestCase causes fixes the problem
