Here are some tantalizing hints. I'll look at this tomorrow if someone
hasn't beaten me to it, but there are *better things I can be doing late
Friday night than messing around with stupid tests* <G>.

Once you have tests, you'll want to run them. JUnit provides tools to define
the suite to be run and to display its results. To run tests and see the
results on the console, run this from a Java program:

org.junit.runner.JUnitCore.runClasses(TestClass1.class, ...);

 or this from the command line, with both your test class and junit on the
classpath:

java org.junit.runner.JUnitCore TestClass1.class [...other test classes...]

 From: http://kentbeck.github.com/junit/javadoc/4.7/index.html
See JunitCore and Request, especially Request.method.

From:
http://old.nabble.com/How-to-run-individual-test-case-within-a-test-class-from-command-line%28JUnit-4.x%29-td20003338.html

new JUnitCore.run(*Request*.*method*(class, *methodName*));

I think the still-remaining clumsy part of this is specifying the test class
file in the classpath. I can imagine that this could be part of a shell
script, but is it worth the effort if things run from the IDE?
Alternatively, a small Java program taking two arguments might do the trick.
But as I said, it's late and even *sleeping* would be better than this
<G>.....

Siiiiggghhh. Manning has a MEAP for JUnit In Action (herinafter JUIA) that
covers up through Junit 4.5. Anybody dare me to spring for the $30 and see
what wisdom is in there? I'm frustrated enough with the sparse documentation
that it sure seems worth it....
