show display Name only instead of method name

[martinlippert]

While working on some other features (in the Spring tooling space), I got feedback from a colleague that the test explorer should really display the "display name" of tests INSTEAD of the method name, not as an additional label behind the test method name.

Hi @martinlippert, I'm an AI Support assistant here to help with your issue. While the team reviews your request, I wanted to provide some possible tips and documentation that might help you in the meantime.

No built-in support exists today for replacing the method name with JUnit’s @DisplayName in the Test Explorer. You can track or upvote the feature request and use a custom DisplayNameGenerator as a workaround:

• Feature request: Show display name in test report (applies equally to Test Explorer)
  https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-java-test/issues/956
• Example of a custom JUnit 5 @DisplayNameGenerator
