Dan Fabulich updated SUREFIRE-303:
----------------------------------

    Affects Version/s: 2.4
        Fix Version/s:     (was: 2.4)
                       2.x

Weirdly, this seems to be way harder than it looks.

1) The JUnit team, in their infinite wisdom, decided not to provide a way for 
external test runners like Maven, Ant, Eclipse, etc. to know the reason why a 
test was ignored.  Try running your test in any runner; none of them will 
report the reason.  That's because RunListener.testIgnored only gives you a 
Description [e.g. "myMethod(MyClass)"] but no reason; similarly, RunNotifier 
provides no way for runners to pass a reason to listeners.

2) I can't find *any* JUnit XML output anywhere that even lists out which tests 
were ignored!  As far as I can tell, the official way to report JUnit 4 
@Ignores is simply to increment the "skipped" attribute in the root element and 
say nothing further.

If anyone can provide an example XML file in the JUnit-style (root <testsuite> 
contains <testcase> elements which may contain <failure> elements) I can try to 
make something that looks like it, but right now there's no "correct" report to 
try to imitate.
