In this case any start of vm should leads to crash. It will be easy to
reproduce.
I can't agree with you. While working on regression tests I saw the
situations when the same VM crashed on one test and successfully passed
on another.
This issue of an approach can lead to serious problems to be unnoticed.
So I conclude it can't be used for DRLVM testing.

I think, we can generate xml-files by build as post-processing of test run.
thanks, Vladimir
Now I see this approach is loosing its main feature - simplicity. It's
starting to look as a set of workarounds for more and more arising problems.
While other proposed approach based on task extending looks quite natural
and simple [1]. By using of standard Ant's means (with available
well-documented API) it allows to implement all the things we need for
JVM testing: crash handling, std/err test output collection, and crash
reporting.
I use it for DRLVM regression testing and it works well. However, there is an
opinion that JVM crash-handling means should be common for each task we do.
So let's decide on approach to choose for further use.
Thanks,
Alexander
