/**
 * JUnitThread is a utility class that allows JUtil assertions to be
 * run in other threads.  A JUtil assertion thrown from a
 * thread other than the invoking one can not be caught by JUnit.
 * This class allows these AssertionFailedErrors to be caught and
 * passed back to the original thread.
 * <p>
 * To use, create a JUnitThread and override the testBody() method with
 * the test code.  Then call doTest() on the thread to run the test
 * and re-throw any assertion failures that were thrown by the
 * subthread.
 * <p>
 * Example:
 * <pre>
    public void testEquality() {
    JUnitThread tester =
    new JUnitThread("testEquality") {
    public void testBody() {
    int one = 1;
    assertTrue(one == 1);
    }
    };
    tester.doTest();
    }
 * </pre>
