Geoffrey & Co.,

I called in one of the local Green Berets, and he finally resolved this matter. What I had was

class FooTest extends junit.framework.TestCase {
//...
}

and this is sufficient to force the JUnit 3 test runner, which ignores all annotations. Using this

class FooTest{
//...
}

and annotating all testX methods with @Test will use a JUnit4 test runner, which honours @Ignore.

Perhaps I misinterpreted Geoffrey's remark to do a pull --rebase - I thought this would update the XyzTest files he had changed, not some general update? (Also, being in the midst of some rework/refactoring, I didn't want to risk losing any of my work.)

Anyway, I'll take care of the tests in drools-decisiontables and drools-template.

Cheers
Wolfgang
