Dear Sven,

Try running test.xml from within Eclipse (Run Ant...), after adding clover.jar 
to your Ant runtime classpath in the preferences. Don't forget to pass the 
correct properties to test.xml when running it. You can look at the runtests 
script to see what they are. It might also be necessary to pass the property 
"IncludeAntRuntime = yes". If that is not enough still, try finding all 
occurences of "IncludeAntRuntime = no" in the various xml scripts and replace 
them with "IncludeAntRuntime = yes".

I got this to work some time ago, but it's been too long to remember all the 
details. However, I do recall that a lot of tests didn't run because of them 
needing Windows.

Good luck,
