org.junit.internal.AssumptionViolatedException is thrown when org.junit.Assume.assumeXXX methods are called. The following test skips AssumptionViolatedExceptions when run in Eclipse:

public class MyClassTest
{

   @Test
   public void test()
   {
      Assume.assumeTrue(false);
   }
}

Assumptions are needed to check if a test should be skipped or not.
