Re: [jdt-dev] Generalize JUnit view?

Hi all,

This is https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=507626 .

So far, it didn't become the priority of anyone to implement it. If you're ready to do it Christian that'd be great.

With the rise of IDE-agnostic protocol like LSP, we can expect soon that there will be some common ways for all language to report test results (I favor option https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-debugadapter-node/issues/154 since Test results are just one typical form of output when running/debugging an app, but some people would prefer something more complex), so we'll soon need to be able to report test execution for this common protocol as well, and having a view ready to reuse would be great.

I believe building a generic "TestReport" model and having a generic TestReportView providing an "updateTestReport(TestReport newReport)" would be enough. Various test framework integration would have to listen to event to map framework data into TestReport and then invoke updateTestReport.
