Text issue copied and pasted as is from above link

Project reproducing inability to run individual JUnit tests.

Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 201506110001)
Java: 1.7.0_76; Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 24.76-b04
Runtime: Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 1.7.0_76-b13
System: Linux version 3.13.0-37-generic running on amd64; UTF-8; cs_CZ (nb)
User directory: /home/cesilko/.netbeans/dev
Cache directory: /home/cesilko/.cache/netbeans/dev

Description:
============
Under some circumstances users can neither run nor debug individual JUnit tests due to an invalid format of arguments. Maybe it's a consequence of JUnit library upgrade to version 1.12. See this error output:

/home/cesilko/.cache/netbeans/dev/executor-snippets/junit.xml:140: The following error occurred while executing this line:
/home/cesilko/.cache/netbeans/dev/executor-snippets/junit.xml:78: Invalid specification of test methods: "teststorun.CalculatorTest.testAdd"; expected: comma-separated list of valid Java identifiers
BUILD FAILED (total time: 0 seconds)

Steps to reproduce:
===================
1. Launch NetBeans IDE and open attached CannotRunIndividualTest project.
2. Right click "Source Packages > teststorun" node and invoke "Tools > Create/Update Tests" from popup menu.
3. In "Create Tests" dialog just push "OK" button.
4. Right click "CannotRunIndividualTest" project and invoke "Test" from its popup menu.
5. In "Test Results" output window right click "No test passed... > teststorun.CalculatorTest Failed > teststorun.CalculatorTest.testAdd Failed: ..." node and invoke "Run Again" from its popup menu.

Expected: The testAdd test is run and you see that it failed again in the Test Results output window and no other test results.
Actual: The testAdd test is not run due to the aforementioned error.
