<h2>
JUnit TestRunner Properties</h2>
The TestRunners use a properties file for preference settings. This file
is stored in the folder referred to by the "user.home" system property.
The following properties are supported:
<br>
<table BORDER CELLSPACING=0 >
<tr>
<td><b>loading</b></td>
<td>Use a custom class loader to load classes for each run. Default value=true.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><b>filterstack</b></td>
<td>Filter JUnit internal methods in failure or error stack traces. Default
value=true. </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><b>maxmessage</b></td>
<td>The maximum output length. Default value=500. Set maxmessage to -1
to disable output truncation. Disabling the output truncation will result
in long test runs when an assertEquals method fails and the toString()
method results in massive output. </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><b>TestCollectorClass</b>
<br><i>Swing UI TestRunner only</i></td>
<td>The Swing TestRunner supports to browse test classes. There is an additional
browse ("...") button besides the suite combo. It shows a simple dialog
to select a test class from a list. Different strategies to locate Test
classes are supported and you can plug-in your own strategy. This allows
to leverage functionality provided by an extension API of an integrated
development environment (IDE). To define a custom test collector you 1)
implement the junit.runner.TestCollector interface and 2) add an entry
to the junit.properties file with the key TestCollectorClass and the name
of your TestCollector implementation class as the key:
<br>
TestCollectorClass=junit.swingui.LoadingTestCollector
<br>This class has to be installed on the class path. </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><b>FailureViewClass</b>
<br><i>Swing UI TestRunner only</i></td>
<td>Plug-in a custom failure panel that provides additional functionality
like navigating from a failure to the source. To do so you implement the
junit.runner.FailureDetailView interface and register the implementation
class in the junit.properties file under the key FailureViewClass, for
example.
<br>
FailureViewClass=somepackage.MyFailureViewClassName.
<br>This class has to be installed on the class path. </td>
</tr>
