/**
* 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 <code>public static void</code> method
* 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>
* methods are guaranteed to run even if a {@link org.junit.BeforeClass} method throws an
* exception. The <code>&#064;AfterClass</code> methods declared in superclasses will be run after those of the current
* class, unless they are shadowed in the current class.
* <p>
* Here is a simple example:
* <pre>
* public class Example {
* private static DatabaseConnection database;
* &#064;BeforeClass public static void login() {
* database= ...;
* }
* &#064;Test public void something() {
* ...
* }
* &#064;Test public void somethingElse() {
* ...
* }
* &#064;AfterClass public static void logout() {
* database.logout();
* }
* }
* </pre>
*
* @see org.junit.BeforeClass
* @see org.junit.Test
* @since 4.0
