Provide a mechanism for FEST Swing to easily run multiple tests without cold starting the app every time

This item is from an entry title "Having trouble running multiple tests together" in the Google group. I am attaching a file, sample.java, that illustrates the problem. This file runs fine with FEST, and everything works OK. But, if I create a second test file that uses a similar strategy, and try to execute both files in a single run of FEST, then only the first file runs successfully.

From the discussion group:

The problem is that FestSwingTestCaseTemplate cleans up resources, including

closing your app after each test method. In your case, if I understood

correctly, you'd like to open the app once, run tests and then close the

app. For this scenario, you'd have to duplicate

what FestSwingTestCaseTemplate is doing per test (@Before/@After methods)

and move it to @BeforeClass/@AfterClass methods.

I think it is valuable if FEST provides an implementation like this

out-of-the-box.
