/**

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

 * after the test runs. Annotating a <code>public void</code> method

 * with <code>&#064;After</code> causes that method to be run after the {@link org.junit.Test} method. All <code>&#064;After</code>

 * methods are guaranteed to run even if a {@link org.junit.Before} or {@link org.junit.Test} method throws an 

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

 * class.</p>

 * 

 * Here is a simple example:

* <pre>

 * public class Example {

 *    File output;

 *    @Before public void createOutputFile() {

 *          output= new File(...);

 *    }

 *    @Test public void something() {

 *          ...

 *    }

 *    @After public void deleteOutputFile() {

 *          output.delete();

 *    }

 * }

 * </pre>

 * 

 * @see org.junit.Before

 * @see org.junit.Test
