<h2><a name="junit">JUnit</a></h2>
<h3>Description</h3>
<p>This task runs tests from the JUnit testing framework. The latest
version of the framework can be found at <a
href="http://www.xprogramming.com/software.htm">http://www.xprogramming.com/software.htm</a>.
This task requires JUnit 3.0 or above.</p>
<p>Tests are defined by nested <code>test</code> or
<code>batchtest</code> tags, see <a href="#nested">nested
elements</a>.</p>

<h3><a name="nested">Nested Elements</a></h3>
<p><code>junit</code> supports a nested <code>&lt;classpath&gt;</code>
element, that represents a <a href="index.html#path">PATH like
structure</a>. The value is ignore if <code>fork</code> is
disabled.</p>
<h4>jvmarg</h4>
<p>If fork is enabled, additional parameters may be passed to the new
VM via nested <code>&lt;jvmarg&gt;</code> attributes, for example:</p>
<pre><blockquote>
&lt;junit fork=&quot;yes&quot;&gt;
&lt;jvmarg value=&quot;-Djava.compiler=NONE&quot;/&gt;
&lt;/junit&gt;
</blockquote></pre>
would run the test in a VM without JIT.</p>

convention) as a single command line argument.</td>

<tr>
<td valign="top">line</td>
<td valign="top">a space delimited list of command line arguments.</td>

</table>
<h4>formatter</h4>
<p>The results of the tests can be printed in different
formats. Output will always be sent to a file, the name of the file is
determined by the name of the test and can be set by the
<code>outfile</code> attribute of <code>&lt;test&gt;</code>.
<p>There are two predefined formatters, one prints the test results in
XML format, the other emits plain text. Custom formatters that need to
implement
<code>org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.junit.JUnitResultFormatter</code>
can be specified.</p>

<p>Tests can define their own formatters via nested
<code>&lt;formatter&gt;</code> elements.</p>
<h4>batchtest</h4>
<p>Define a number of tests based on pattern matching.</p>
<p><code>batchtest</code> collects the included files from any number
of nested <code>&lt;fileset&gt;</code> and
<code>&lt;filesetref&gt;</code> elements. It then generates a test
class name for each file that ends in <code>.java</code> or
<code>.class</code>.</p>

<p>Batchtests can define their own formatters via nested
<code>&lt;formatter&gt;</code> elements.</p>
<h3>Examples</h3>
<pre><blockquote>
&lt;junit&gt;
&lt;test name="my.test.TestCase" /&gt;
&lt;/junit&gt;
</pre></blockquote>
<p>Runs the test defined in <code>my.test.TestCase</code> in the same
VM. No output will be generated unless the test fails.</p>
<pre><blockquote>
&lt;junit printsummary="yes" fork="yes" haltonfailure="yes"&gt;
&lt;formatter type="plain" /&gt;
&lt;test name="my.test.TestCase" /&gt;
&lt;/junit&gt;
</pre></blockquote>
<p>Runs the test defined in <code>my.test.TestCase</code> in a
separate VM. At the end of the test a single line summary will be
printed. A detailed report of the test can be found in
<code>TEST-my.test.TestCase.txt</code>. The build process will be
stopped if the test fails.</p>
<pre><blockquote>
&lt;junit printsummary="yes" haltonfailure="yes"&gt;
&lt;classpath&gt;
&lt;pathelement location="${build.tests}" /&gt;
&lt;pathelement path="${java.class.path}" /&gt;
&lt;/classpath&gt;
&lt;formatter type="plain" /&gt;
&lt;test name="my.test.TestCase" haltonfailure="no" outfile="result" &gt;
&lt;formatter type="xml" /&gt;
&lt;/test&gt;
&lt;batchtest fork="yes"&gt;
&lt;fileset dir="${src.tests}"&gt;
&lt;include name="**/*Test*.java" /&gt;
&lt;exclude name="**/AllTests.java" /&lt;
&lt;/fileset&gt;
&lt;/batchtest&gt;
&lt;/junit&gt;
</pre></blockquote>
<p>Runs <code>my.test.TestCase</code> in the same VM (ignoring the
given CLASSPATH), only a warning is printed if this test fails. In
addition to the plain text testresults, for this test a XML result
will be output to <code>result.xml</code>.</p>
<p>For each matching file in the directory <code>${src.tests}</code> a
test is run in a separate VM. If a test fails, the build process is
aborted. Results are collected in files named
<code>TEST-<em>name</em>.txt</code>.</p>
