Description
While working on some other features (in the Spring tooling space), I got feedback from a colleague that the test explorer should really display the "display name" of tests INSTEAD of the method name, not as an additional label behind the test method name.

Research direction
Start at the test explorer entry point that builds test labels and trace how a test method name and display name are selected. Check the existing handling of display names, then make the explorer show only the display name instead of appending it to the method name. Done means the requested label is shown for the affected tests without the method name.
