26 * Defines a test class which should be loaded and run at the start of a suite of tests.
27 *
28 * <p>This annotation should be applied to a class which uses the {@link LoadTimeWeavableTestRunner} which will load
29 * and execute the specified bootstrap test.</p>
30 *
31 * <p>Usually, this is used for one-time initialization for the test suite. It also helps to get around issues of eager
32 * classloading of JPA entities before their ClassFileTransformers can be registered for load-time weaving.</p>
33 *
34 * <p>The test class referenced must have at least one {@link org.junit.Test}</p> method even if it doesn't actually
35 * do anything.</p>
