When I create and run unit tests, (in Eclipse (Galileo) with JUnit 4.5 or 4.82), the @Before is never executed.

I've included some sample code below. I would expect its output to be:

  initialize  
  testGetFour

But it is just:

  testGetFour

@BeforeClass and @AfterClass are never executed either.
Can someone tell me why this is?

public class SomeClass
{
  public static int getFour()
  {
    return 4;
  }  
}

//---

import org.junit.Before;
import org.junit.Test;
import junit.framework.TestCase;

public class TestSomeClass extends TestCase
{
  @Before 
  public void initialize() // This method will never execute (?!).
  {
    System.err.println("initialize"); 
  }
  
  @Test
  public void testGetFour()
  {
    System.err.println("testGetFour");        
    assertEquals(4, SomeClass.getFour());
  }  
}
