Junit Test Runner with Suite

Question

Is it possible to get a TestRunner to run a Test Suite that's been created programmatically?

The Block4JunitTestRunner for example takes the Suite class as the constructor argument. However, I can't do this since the Suite isn't a concrete Suite. I dynamically add TestCases to a TestSuite and now I need a TestRunner to run it so im able to get Junit report the test failures/success/errors as normal. (

Thanks.

BlockJunit4ClassRunnerForInstance

Example Suite

This suite runner requires that you provide a static method returning a list of test instances eg

public static List<Object> testInstances(){
    ArrayList<Object> objects = new ArrayList<Object>();
    ..
    return objects;
}

The original behaviour of the block runner is to create a new instance per test method, so you might need to do more work in the setup to keep the tests independent.
