public static File getBaseDir()

Returns the projects base directory.

Returns:

the projects base directory.

getHostName

public static String getHostName()

Returns the hostname of localhost.

Returns:

String the hostname of localhost.

hasTestCases

public static boolean hasTestCases()

Check to see if the test cases property is set. Ignores Ant's default setting for the property (or null to be on the safe side).

Returns:

boolean true if the test case property is set, false else

getSuite

public static TestSuite getSuite(Class testClass)
                          throws RuntimeException,
                                 IllegalArgumentException

Create a TestSuite using the TestCase subclass and the list of test cases to run specified using the TEST_CASES JVM property.

Parameters:

testClass - the TestCase subclass to instantiate as tests in the suite.

Returns:

a TestSuite with new instances of testClass for each test case specified in the JVM property.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if testClass is not a subclass or implementation of junit.framework.TestCase.

RuntimeException - if testClass is written incorrectly and does not have the approriate constructor.
