Eclipse - Create an abstract subclass of a class w/o a default constructor. / running TestCase w/o constructor in Eclipse

[Brian Bonner <brian.bonner@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Has anyone run into this problem?

I'm trying to use an abstract subclass of a class that doesn't have a 
default constructor (TestCase).  For some reason, Eclipse complains that 
the default constructor with a name is needed to run it in Junit, 
however, I can compile the same code at a command line and it works in 
JUnit w/o problem.

Here's my code to reproduce the problem:  The AbstractTestCase compiles 
outside of eclipse and runs in JUnit fine.

/**  Abstract Test Case w/ no constructors */
import junit.framework.TestCase;
public abstract class AbstractTestCase extends TestCase {
// Eclipse complains that the Implicit Super Constructor TestCase()
// is not visible for default constructor.  Must define an explicit 
constructor.
}

Likewise, if I try to use the AbstractTestCase in another TestCase as 
shown below,  Eclipse complains that there is no default constructor 
when I try to run it in JUnit. 

/** another test case  which uses the abstract Test Case */
public class AnotherTest extends AbstractTestCase {
public AnotherTest(String name){
}

junit.framework.AssertionFailedError: Class AnotherTest has no public 
constructor TestCase(String name)

AnotherTest *can't* have a constructor of TestCase(String name), because 
AbstractTestCase suppressed it.

Any thoughts?
