Non-public Unit Tests
When I define a package-private unit test like:
@Test
void myMethod() { ... }
then Netbeans underlines the method name and hints "myMethod is never used".
If I define the test method to be public, this hint is not displayed.
In a way this is logical behavior, but I wonder whether it is useful.
Perhaps a unit test or even any other test should be recognized to be
"top level methods", even if they are package private.
Any opinions on this?

I'm using JUnit 5. The tests are picked up fine.

Is NetBeans still incapable of using JUnit 5? The JUnit 4 test runner does
not pick up non-public tests, so then the indication that the test is not
used is perfectly correct.

About Netbeans underlining a method name and saying "myMethod is never
used", I have the same problem when overriding a package-private method:
public class A {
void myMethod() {...}
public void doStuff() {
myMethod();
}
}
class B extends A {
@Override
void myMethod() {...}
}
NetBeans hints myMethod() in class B as never used. Indeed there is no
explicit calls to B.myMethod(), but that method is still used when
A.myMethod() is invoked.
