One other thing you can do is look for the below line in the logs of your
failure. These are the tests that ran in the same JVM as your tests. This
won't help if your tests are getting messed up by disk artifacts or port
issues, but if it is some JVM state left by a previous test it would be in
this list.
Previously run tests: [ClientServerMiscSelectorDUnitTest,
ClientConflationDUnitTest, ReliableMessagingDUnitTest]
