FYI, I ran into a bug in Apache Ant locally caused by invalid XML in the
test-result-files which prevents test-reports from being created, see
https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=65030, seems the new
"junitlauncher" and support for JUnit 5 is a bit "rough around the edges"
still in Apache Ant as there are a few more bug-reports...


Workaround for me was to unset some environment-variables which include
some ESC-control-char:

unset LESS_TERMCAP_mb=
unset LESS_TERMCAP_md=
unset LESS_TERMCAP_me=
unset LESS_TERMCAP_se=
unset LESS_TERMCAP_so=
unset LESS_TERMCAP_us=


Regards... Dominik.
