441integrated development environment (IDE). To define a custom test
442collector
443you 1) implement the <b>junit.runner.TestCollector </b>interface and
4442)
445add an entry to the <b>junit.properties</b> file with the key <b>TestCollectorClass</b>
446and the name of your TestCollector implementation class as the key:</font></li>
447 <font color="#000000"><br>
448
449TestCollectorClass=junit.swingui.LoadingClassPathTestCollector
450 <br>
451This class has to be installed on the class path.
452 <br>
453JUnit provides two different TestCollector implementations:
454 </font>
455 <ul>
456 <li>
457 <font color="#000000">simple
458(junit.runner.SimpleClassPathTestCollector) - considers all classes
459on the class path on the file system that contain "Test" in their name.
460Classes in JARs are not considered.</font></li>
461 <li>
462 <font color="#000000">loading
463(junit.runner.LoadingClassPathTestCollector) - loads all classes
464on the class path and tests whether the class is assignable from Test
465or
466has a static <b>suite</b> method.</font></li>
467 </ul>
468 <font color="#000000">By default the simple the test collector is
469used. The loading collector
470is more precise but much slower than the simple one. The loading
471collector
472doesn'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
475assume that the class files reside are kept in the file system. This
476isn't
477case in VA/Java and they will not work there. A custom TestCollector is
478required for VA/Java.
479 <li>The Swing TestRunner now provides an additional test result view
480that shows
481all tests of the executed test suite as a tree. The view shows the
482success
483status for each test. The view is shown as an additional tab in the
484TestRunner
485window. In previous versions of JUnit this view was shown in a separate
486window.</li>
487 <li>
488The failure panels in the Swing and AWT TestRunners filter the
489exception
490stack trace so that only non-framework stack frames are shown.</li>
491 <li>
492There is support to plug-in a custom failure panel that provides
493additional
494functionality like navigating from a failure to the source. To do so
495you
496implement the <b>junit.runner.FailureDetailView</b> interface and
497register
498the implementation class in the junit.properties file under the key <b>FailureViewClass</b>,
499for example</li>
500 <br>
501
502FailureViewClass=MyFailureViewClassName.
503 <li>The Swing and AWT TestRunners now understand an additional
504command line
505argument "-noloading". When this argument is set then the standard
506system
507class loader is used to load classes. This is an alternative to setting
508the <b>loading</b> property to false in the junit.properties file.</li>
509 <li>
510Swing TestRunner - the maximum test history length shown in the suite
511combo
512can be defined in the junit.properties file with the key <b>maxhistory</b>.</li>
513 <li>
514BaseTestRunner.<b>getLoader</b>() is no longer a static method and can
515now be overridden in subclasses.</li>
516 <li>
517BaseTestRunner removed dependency on JDK 1.2.</li>
518 <li>
519Swing TestRunner - fixed the problem that a suite name was sometimes
520duplicated
521in the history combo.</li>
522 <li>
523Swing TestRunner - the Run button is now the default button.</li>
524 <li>
525Output string truncation can now be controlled by adding the <b>maxmessage</b>
526key with the desired maximum length to the junit.properties file.
527Setting
528maxmessage to -1 means no output truncation.</li>
529 <li>
530The Text TestRunner now shows the summary at the very end so that you
531don't
532have to scroll back.</li>
533 </font>

536<font color="#000000">Tests</font></h3>
537<ul>
538 <li>
