I've switched "ant test" to use the plain formatter rather than the XML formatter - I think this is a lot more sane for humans looking at the output. XML escaped failing assertions are no fun to read. And of course there is the buffering bug too - running any really large test that prodoces output using the XML formatter can run you out of memory.
XML can be used by defining the junit.formatter system property. ant clean test -Djunit.formatter=xml Does anyone know how to change the hudson build to add that property? -Yonik http://www.lucidimagination.com
