Here's some instructions on how to setup XTest for your Java project.

http://xtest.netbeans.org/XTest4Java.html

XTest is an opensource automated testing framework used for testing Java
products through JUnit, HttpUnit (and hopefully soon Cactus) type tests,
and publishing the results into html pages. It integrates testing from
multiple platforms, products, product versions, and test types, to
provide upto date comprehensive statistical information about the status
of your java code.

I've been using this at 'De norske Bokklubbene' where, along with
different junit test types (unit, httpUnit, cactus), and platforms, tests
are also grouped (by using the department attribute) into 'Weekly Build',
'Nightly Build', and 'CVS-user' builds corresponding to each cvs commit
per user (using cvsroot/loginfo). This makes the production environment
very resistant to regression because regressions can quickly be traced to
the exact cvs commit and user through the published results of XTest.

The document is still beta, so feedback would be appreciated.
