      If you create a base test class and annotate methods with @Test, then inherit it in some other classes and override methods without adding @Test Junit 4 will be able to pickup them and run as tests. Unfortunately Clover will not know that these are tests automatically unless you add @Test to them. I understand that annotations are not inherited in Java and Junit 4 does "some magic" (didn't have time to check exactly what it does) to find them.

      Decide if we want to follow Junit's approach or we stick with Java language specification.

            Please note that in our humble opinion this is not a matter of "deciding whether or not to follow JUnit's approach or [to] stick with Java language specification", because this test case detection is about JUnit 4, i.e. the de-facto Java unit testing standard, and not about general java annotation inheritance.

            See https://support.atlassian.com/browse/CLV-4892 for full report of the issue.

            Maybe it is completely unrelated but have a look to:

            (no overriding in my case at all but still a very weird behaviour with clover enabled)
