--- Comment #1 from Stefan Bodewig <[email protected]> 2010-01-17 21:25:45 UTC --- Well, the JUnit task looks like code looks that got features added for almost ten years with the constraint to not break backwards compatibility. It has never been designed to be subclassed, but people did so anyway (e.g. Cactus) and in fact this further constrained the changes that could be made. As for JUnit4, we've been discussing (with the JUnit people, actually) to create a new junit4 task for years now, but in the end the existing task seems to work well enough for most people so the re-write never took off. If we changed setOutfile the <formatter> element suddenly gains a new attribute, something I wouldn't want to do before 1.8.0 is final (too late in the release cycle for anything but bug fixes). -- Configure bugmail: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
