[cross-project-issues-dev] Timeout when running tests

[Henrik Lindberg <henrik.lindberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
At one point, we found a test in p2 that was hung, and this led me to  
look into if it was possible to configure JUnit to timeout tests that  
take too long.
I did some googling, and found that in JUnit 4 it is possible to set  
timeout per test using annotations - seems like a very nice feature.
In JUnit 3 it seems like it is possible to configure the overall  
timeout behavior, but that something known as fork-mode must be used  
at the same time.

What are others doing wrt. to tests and timeouts. Is the Eclipse  
infrastructure set up to timeout long running tests?
