Re: junit-nested: TestRunner for non-static inner classes

As they say, great minds think alike. :) Some years ago I wrote a similar
thing, even named it almost the same:
https://github.com/orfjackal/nestedjunit If yours supports arbitrary depth,
then that's more than nestedjunit does (it supports only max 2 levels of
tests). Is the test isolation also the same?

I got used to that style of organizing tests when learning TDD and writing
tests with JDave. I've found 1-2 levels is nearly always enough, though I
appreaciate the flexibility of arbitrary depth. For other JVM languages,
and Java with lambda expressions, I've written an even more flexible
testing framework: http://specsy.org/ You might like it, so have a look.
(It requires the http://jumi.fi/ test runner, which is still lacking in
tool support, so that's a negative side, for now.)
