maven-b8 junit-report plugin crashes when one or more tests fail.

[Age Mooy <am...@home.nl>]

Hi,

The junit-report plugin that comes with maven-b8 has major problems
processing output from failed unit tests. While the plugin is procesing
the junit xml output into xdocs, I get a long Velocity stacktrace for
each failed test method it encounters. I can reproduce this in all my
projects by simply adding a call to fail() in one of my (normally
successful) unit test methods. One identical stacktrace for each test
method failure.

Here's the snipped version of the stacktrace. I attached the full
console output for a normal run and a -X run as text files

I get this with
 - no velocity jar in the maven/lib dir
 - velocity-1.3.jar in the maven/lib dir
 - velocity-1.4-dev.jar in the maven/lib dir

OS = win2k
VM = 1.3.1_06

Can anyone reproduce this ?
