Hi! I found the output of "brief" still too verbose, so I created a different formatter for Ant's JUnit task. It is based on "brief", and I decided to call it "quiet". It only prints any output if a test fails. For this change, I had to modify FormatterElement.java and JUnitTask.java, and add QuietJUnitResultFormatter.java. I created a website that has complete source and binary tar.gz distributions of a modified Ant 1.7.0 available, as well as a tar.gz file with just the three Java files named above. It is available at: http://www.superscalar.org/files/apache-ant-1.7.0-quiet/ At this website, you can also see a comparison of the output generated by the "brief" formatter and the "quiet" formatter I have added. I have created a patch file using "svn diff > quiet-patch-r503170". It is based on revision 503170. The patch file is available at: http://www.superscalar.org/files/apache-ant-1.7.0-quiet/quiet-patch-r503170 Please let me know if you have any interest in integrating this into future versions of Ant, if I have unknowingly duplicated a feature, or if I have done something else wrong. I hope this will be helpful for someone. Sincerely, Mathias Ricken

Created attachment 21682 [details] Patch file based on Ant revision 638724 I have created and attached a patch file based on Apache Ant 1.8.0alpha, revision 638724. I hope it will help in implementing this enhancement in version 1.8.0. It also includes a second formatter, "oneline", that prints one line per test on success and full output on failures or errors. This second formatter has been in the modified code on my website for over a year, just not in the patch file I submitted here. http://www.superscalar.org/files/apache-ant-1.7.0-quiet/
