/**
 * If you allocate expensive external resources in a {@link org.junit.BeforeClass} method you need to release them
 * after all the tests in the class have run. Annotating a public static void method
 * with @AfterClass causes that method to be run after all the tests in the class have been run. All @AfterClass
 * methods are guaranteed to run even if a {@link org.junit.BeforeClass} method throws an
 * exception. The @AfterClass methods declared in superclasses will be run after those of the current
 * class, unless they are shadowed in the current class.
 * 
 * Here is a simple example:
 * 
 * public class Example {
 *    private static DatabaseConnection database;
 *    @BeforeClass public static void login() {
 *          database= ...;
 *    }
 *    @Test public void something() {
 *          ...
 *    }
 *    @Test public void somethingElse() {
 *          ...
 *    }
 *    @AfterClass public static void logout() {
 *          database.logout();
 *    }
 * }
 * 
 *
 * @see org.junit.BeforeClass
 * @see org.junit.Test
 * @since 4.0
