junit task enhancement

[Vijay Aravamudhan <av...@gmail.com>]

hi,
There is an open source project called Parallel Junit 
(https://parallel-junit.dev.java.net/). The idea is nice but the 
developer has not provided an ant task for using this from an ant build. 
Looking at the ant's junit task, it looks like we cannot easily 
incorporate this without some changes in ant. Here's my 
suggestion/request: could you please provide a new attribute 
'suiteClass' where the user can then specify the class to be 
instantiated for the implementation of the junit TestSuite? This could 
default to the default TestSuite class from junit if not specified.

If there is a different way to accomplish this with the current release 
of ant - please reply.

Thanks,
Vijay

Ant will only use TestSuite if it is not running JUnit4 and the test
class doesn't have a static suite() method.  So one way to accomplish
it would be to provide a suite() of your own - and probably stop using
batchtest completely.

Given that we wrap the individual test classes in a JUnit4TestAdapter
the pluggable TestSuite wouldn't help with JUnit4.

IIRC we've had a few bug reports against our reporting infrastructure
by people who ran several tests in parallel that we addressed, but I
wouldn't be surprised if there were still some issues with specific
test listeners.
