Using JUnit in Eclipse

Question

I think this is a JUnit question, but it may be relevant that I'm using it within Eclipse:
The main method in my test case looks like this:
     public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
          TestCase test = new LogParserTest("testReadFile");
          test.run();
     }Two strange things are happening:
1. This is running every test in LogParserTest -- not just "testReadFile".
2. My TestCase constructor is getting called twice (presumably b/c I have two tests. I'm sure these two behaviours are related.
Can someone tell me what's happening?
Here is the ctor for my TestCase:
     public LogParserTest(String str) throws IOException, FileNotFoundException {
          super(str);
          logParser = new SingleLogParser("C:/eclipse/workspace/TestFileIO/test/logs/testLog.txt");          
     }

AFAIK, you don't have to use a main method within a
testcase (well, at least when using Eclipse to run
JUnit tests). The fact why your ctor is called twice;
i dunno at this point.I did more research and found out. Turns out I don't need a ctor at all. Should have a setUp() method instead. And that is SUPPOSED to be called before each test, just as tearDown() is called after each test. Each test is supposed to be a unit (JUnit) and they are thus independent of one another. Basically, the behaviour is intened. My invocation in main is also abnormal, though it works. Better to call run on the class itself.
