Description

Surefire reports a failure if an abstract test case (extending junit.framework.TestCase) with TestCase in its name contains no tests. This bug appears to have the same symptoms as issue SUREFIRE-221, but as it's so old I'm assuming a different cause

Workaround: adding @Ignore to the abstract test case (or change the class name)
