025/**
026 * Defines a test class which should be loaded and run at the start of a suite of tests.
027 *
028 * <p>This annotation should be applied to a class which uses the {@link LoadTimeWeavableTestRunner} which will load
029 * and execute the specified bootstrap test.</p>
030 *
031 * <p>Usually, this is used for one-time initialization for the test suite. It also helps to get around issues of eager
032 * classloading of JPA entities before their ClassFileTransformers can be registered for load-time weaving.</p>
033 *
034 * <p>The test class referenced must have at least one {@link org.junit.Test}</p> method even if it doesn't actually
035 * do anything.</p>
