Test methods without modifier are marked as unused

[Saljack]

Description

JUnit 5 allows to use methods without any access modifier. Developers do not need to add public modifier and test classes are more readable. These test methods without any access modifier and with @Test annotation are marked in NetBeans as unused. This is not correct behaviour because these methods are used by the JUnit 5 runner.

import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test;

class TestClass {
  @Test
  void unusedTestMethod() { // <-- this is marked as unused
     // test code
  }

}

It would be really nice to remove this false positive warning or disable some hints only in test files.

Note:
There are multiple annotations which mark test methods e.g. @ParamatrizedTest so it should check if method has anywhere @Testable annotation.

Use case/motivation

The test classes contain many warnings and it is easy to overlook some meaningful warning/error.
