     9  * <p>If you allocate expensive external resources in a {@link org.junit.BeforeClass} method you need to release them

    10  * after all the tests in the class have run. Annotating a <code>public static void</code> method

    11  * with <code>&#064;AfterClass</code> causes that method to be run after all the tests in the class have been run. All <code>&#064;AfterClass</code>

    12  * methods are guaranteed to run even if a {@link org.junit.BeforeClass} method throws an 

    13  * exception. The <code>&#064;AfterClass</code> methods declared in superclasses will be run after those of the current

    14  * class.</p>

    15  * 

    16  * Here is a simple example:

    17 * <pre>

    18  * public class Example {

    19  *    DatabaseConnection database;

    20  *    @BeforeClass public void login() {

    21  *          database= ...;

    22  *    }

    23  *    @Test public void something() {

    24  *          ...

    25  *    }

    26  *    @Test public void somethingElse() {

    27  *          ...

    28  *    }

    29  *    @AfterClass public void logout() {

    30  *          database.logout();

    31  *    }

    32  * }

    33  * </pre>

    34  * 

    35  * @see org.junit.BeforeClass
