TestNG smoke test doesn't test anything

[wilkinsona]

The test class and its method are package-private which means that no tests are run. They cannot be made public until spring-io/spring-javaformat#152 is fixed or we configure a Checkstyle suppression.

I have tried to add public to both class and method and running the check task, but everything worked.
This is the method: smoketest.testng.SampleTestNGApplicationTests#testHome
Can you give some further explanation so I can verify that my solutions works?
Thanks.

There's not much more to explain. With the class and method made public, here's the output when building the module:

I think we can close this since testHome is now public with a checkstyle suppression.
