Default timeout

[wokier]

add the ability to define a global default timeout
behavior similar to @test(timeout=1000)
Programatically or passing JVM arg -Djunit.default.timeout=n
Something like this (default timeout part):

Timeout is a good element for a default timeout at TestCase/class level.

Does that mean you're all set, or you're still requesting the feature?

Hi
The second comment was for precise that i have noticed the existence of Timeout for the class level,
but is is not what i was thinking about, i mean a global level.
What do you think of the solution in the article linked ?

I think the solution linked makes sense as an extension, and I'd welcome such a contribution to the junit.contrib project. Thanks.

Was there any such an extension ever build? Sounds like a very good way of terminating hanging tests
