The NetBeans IDE now uses ant exclusively for its build engine, including running a project's JUnit tests. I want to add a test execution progress monitor like the JUnit's GUI TestRunner has, which needs two events: the count of tests to be run, and an event indicating that a test has ended. The current JUnit task batches test results, and so cannot be used for monitoring (as far as we can tell).
We have two ideas on how this might be accomplished that wouldn't disturb existing use, and would appreciate any feedback on which one (or something else) is best: 1. (Preferred) Log sub-informational messages for these events, which a BuildListener could filter. The problem is that while the JUnitTask logs events, its JUnitTestRunner does not (everything goes to stdout and stderr). JUnitTestRunner is completely decoupled from Ant, except for using a few static and utility methods. 2. Add a "JUnitTestListener" property to JUnitTask, modeled after its JUnitResultFormatter property. The JUnitTestListener would extend JUnit's TestListener interface to add a testCount method. The optional JUnitTestListener would be passed to JUnitTestRunner, which already implements TestListener. Any suggestions? We would of course forward any of these changes for review and incorporation, as we don't want to ever run a non-standard version of Ant.
