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".
