    431     <font color="#000000">The Swing TestRunner provides an experimental
    432 feature to browse test classes.
    433 There is an additional browse ("...") button besides the suite combo.
    434 It
    435 shows a simple dialog to select a test class from a list. Different
    436 strategies
    437 to locate Test classes are supported and you can plug-in your own
    438 strategy.
    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 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
    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 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
    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>
