This won't solve your problem but might shed some ligt on what an
unrooted test is (a weak comfort).

I have managed to cause unrooted tests earlier in my RSpec-JUnit
hack. Based on that experience an "unrooted test" is a test that is
run without having been declared previously by the runner (in my case
I had to fix my runner implementation that was, no doubt, not behaving
acording to spec). It would probably not hurt to ask this question in
an Eclipse forum aswell, it seems that exlipse single-test runner is
doing something that is not quite correct.
