Related - what's the reason that we use XML formatting for junit
output? Is it for hudson or something? It's more difficult to read
by hand. Last I checked, it also causes all output to be buffered
before it's comverted to XML in one shot - in the past this has lead
to out-of-memory errors when running junit based stress tests from
the command line.
It's so you can generate a readable and navigable report using "ant
test-reports".
But if it's a hindrance, by all means turn off XML reporting.
