Hello @chonton,
very good feedback, thank you!
> 1. Allow tests to run in parallel. This will probably requires some sort
of synchronization to allow only one tests at a time to change default TimeZone
or Locale.
Good point. Should be possible by wrapping the code in the apply method
with some synchronization logic.
> 2. Apply the rule to individual test methods instead of to all methods in
a test class. Perhaps this could be done by creating annotation(s) which enable
the Rule. I am thinking of something like SwitchDefaults(locale="locale_name",
timezone="timezone_name").
This is already possible by calling explicitly the setLocale method on the
TestLocale instance. The idea is to set up a default for all tests and only
switch it for tests when needed. However this doesn't make much sense in the
light of parallel test execution...
