How to Skip or Ignore JUnit test cases in Java

At times you may not want to run certain test cases in Junit, in such cases make use of the annotation @Ignore on such test methods.

package org.code2care;

public class Greeting {

	public String wishMorning(String name) {
		return "Hello " + name + ", Good Morning!";
	}
	
	public String wishAfternoon(String name) {
		return "Hello " + name + ", Good Afternoon!";
	}
	
	public String wishEvening(String name) {
		return "Hello " + name + ", Good Evening!";
	}


}

package myprog;

import static org.junit.Assert.assertEquals;

import org.code2care.Greeting;
import org.junit.Before;
import org.junit.Ignore;
import org.junit.Test;

public class GreetingTest {


	Greeting greeting;
	
	@Before
	public void init() {
		greeting = new Greeting();
	}
	
	
	@Test
	@Ignore
	public void wishMorningTest() {
		assertEquals("Hello Neo, Good Morning!", greeting.wishMorning("Neo"));
	}
	
	@Test
	public void wishAfternoonTest() {
		assertEquals("Hello Neo, Good Afternoon!", greeting.wishAfternoon("Neo"));
	}
	
	@Test
	public void wishEveningTest() {
		assertEquals("Hello Neo, Good Evening!", greeting.wishEvening("Neo"));
	}
	
	

}
