      JavaTest should provide a way to run choosen tests without using right button of mouse.
      Only the whole set of tests can be run using the separate play button. Execution of only selected tests is hidden under popup menu.

      It's not possible to run single test or test group using only keyboard or left button of mouse. It's a usability issue because user may not have mouse at all or he may use MacOSX with default mouse configuration that keeps right mouse button turned off.

      According to OS X Human Interface Guidelines https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/AppleHIGuidelines/Menus/Menus.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP30000356-TP6 : Always ensure that contextual menu items are also available as menu commands. A contextual menu is hidden by default and a user might not know it exists, so it should never be the only way to access a command. In particular, you should not use a contextual menu as the only way to access an advanced or power-user feature.

      Running single test is not an advanced or power-user feature.
