439 This allows to leverage functionality provided by an extension API of
440 an
441 integrated development environment (IDE). To define a custom test
442 collector
443 you 1) implement the <b>junit.runner.TestCollector </b>interface and
444 2)
445 add an entry to the <b>junit.properties</b> file with the key <b>TestCollectorClass</b>
446 and the name of your TestCollector implementation class as the key:</font></li>
447 <font color="#000000"><br>
448
449 TestCollectorClass=junit.swingui.LoadingClassPathTestCollector
450 <br>
451 This class has to be installed on the class path.
452 <br>
453 JUnit provides two different TestCollector implementations:
454 </font>
455 <ul>
456 <li>
457 <font color="#000000">simple
458 (junit.runner.SimpleClassPathTestCollector) - considers all classes
459 on the class path on the file system that contain "Test" in their name.
460 Classes in JARs are not considered.</font></li>
461 <li>
462 <font color="#000000">loading
463 (junit.runner.LoadingClassPathTestCollector) - loads all classes
464 on the class path and tests whether the class is assignable from Test
465 or
466 has a static <b>suite</b> method.</font></li>
467 </ul>
468 <font color="#000000">By default the simple the test collector is
469 used. The loading collector
470 is more precise but much slower than the simple one. The loading
471 collector
472 doesn't scale up when many classes are available on the class path.
473 <br>
474 <b><font color="#ff0000">Notice</font></b>: that both TestCollectors
475 assume that the class files reside are kept in the file system. This
476 isn't
477 case in VA/Java and they will not work there. A custom TestCollector is
478 required for VA/Java.
479 <li>The Swing TestRunner now provides an additional test result view
480 that shows
481 all tests of the executed test suite as a tree. The view shows the
482 success
483 status for each test. The view is shown as an additional tab in the
484 TestRunner
485 window. In previous versions of JUnit this view was shown in a separate
486 window.</li>
487 <li>
488 The failure panels in the Swing and AWT TestRunners filter the
489 exception
490 stack trace so that only non-framework stack frames are shown.</li>
491 <li>
492 There is support to plug-in a custom failure panel that provides
493 additional
494 functionality like navigating from a failure to the source. To do so
495 you
496 implement the <b>junit.runner.FailureDetailView</b> interface and
497 register
498 the implementation class in the junit.properties file under the key <b>FailureViewClass</b>,
499 for example</li>
500 <br>
501
502 FailureViewClass=MyFailureViewClassName.
503 <li>The Swing and AWT TestRunners now understand an additional
504 command line
505 argument "-noloading". When this argument is set then the standard
506 system
507 class loader is used to load classes. This is an alternative to setting
508 the <b>loading</b> property to false in the junit.properties file.</li>
509 <li>
510 Swing TestRunner - the maximum test history length shown in the suite
511 combo
512 can be defined in the junit.properties file with the key <b>maxhistory</b>.</li>
513 <li>
514 BaseTestRunner.<b>getLoader</b>() is no longer a static method and can
515 now be overridden in subclasses.</li>
516 <li>
517 BaseTestRunner removed dependency on JDK 1.2.</li>
518 <li>
519 Swing TestRunner - fixed the problem that a suite name was sometimes
520 duplicated
521 in the history combo.</li>
522 <li>
523 Swing TestRunner - the Run button is now the default button.</li>
524 <li>
525 Output string truncation can now be controlled by adding the <b>maxmessage</b>
526 key with the desired maximum length to the junit.properties file.
527 Setting
528 maxmessage to -1 means no output truncation.</li>
529 <li>
530 The Text TestRunner now shows the summary at the very end so that you
531 don't
532 have to scroll back.</li>
533 </font>
