/**
* When writing tests, it is common to find that several tests need similar
* objects created before they can run. Annotating a <code>public void</code> method
* with <code>@Before</code> causes that method to be run before the {@link org.junit.Test} method.
* The <code>@Before</code> methods of superclasses will be run before those of the current class.
* <p>
* Here is a simple example:
* <code>
* public class Example {<br>
* List empty;<br>
* @Before public static void initialize() {<br>
* empty= new ArrayList();<br>
* }<br>
* @Test public void size() {<br>
* ...<br>
* }<br>
* @Test public void remove() {<br>
* ...<br>
* }<br>
* }<br>
* </code>
*
* @see org.junit.BeforeClass
* @see org.junit.After
