I used WebTest for a while, but in the end I found that writing tests in XML is way too verbose and clumsy.
I had the same experience... later on I moved to HTMLUnit ([1]), which offers a lot:
1) Different browsers emulation.
2) Retrieving of XML pages as DOM Documents (org.w3c.dom.Document) for further processing by Java.
3) Being based on JUnit, the "green bar" works in Eclipse for HTMLUnit as well.
4) Calling of Javascript functions embedded in the HTLM page from the Java test driver.
5) Availability of Jelly ([2]) as scripting language (well, I opted for Java, so I cannot comment on this feature).
But, best of all, it lets you re-create the whole browser environment within your Java test driver, which, IMO, is better suited for functional testing than the request/response paradigm of HTTPUnit.
I was sceptical about using Java for testing, but the Java/JUnit environment in Eclipse gave me the "quick" feeling of a scripting language.
