Cool.

Eh... I actually think using extensions to JUnit (especially since  
surefire can freak out on them, like it is doing in OpenEJB2) is more  
icky then having TestNG parse some javadoc comments to determine tests.

Plus the ability to inject configuration data into tests also seems  
very appealing.  That could be used to easily pass in the browser  
string to use, then configure the set of tests to run against FF and IE.

I think it is worth a try, since this is all new tests... IMO its a  
great time to do an evaluation of TestNG.

Any idea how to fix this... seems like we need to get this working so  
we can actually perform real content tests.  Maybe need to hookup  
jtidy as an output filter... or I think if we were using sitemesh to  
render top look then it might reformat.
