Hello Dan,

Thanks for your interest in the project! Unfortunately, due demands on
other funded projects, I have not had any time to complete any work on
the project since the initial release.

If you are interested in adding support for remote stack traces that
would be very helpful! Probably the best place to get started is to look
at how the RemoteTestResult class is used.

Up until this point, the messages passed back to remote client has been
simple text in the HTTP response. What I would like to see added first
is to convert all responses to an XML format. Once that is done, it
should be trivial to add an additional element which contains the stack
trace output (i.e. you could simply dump the results of a
e.printStackTrace() call).

To get started, you can check out the junit-remote trunk from
SourceForge, see: https://sourceforge.net/projects/junit-remote/develop

Once you have completed your changes, please prepare a diff (svn diff
should be just fine) and respond to the list. I'll then review and
integrate your changes.

Of course, if you would like to become a regular contributor to the
project, once you have a commit under your belt I would be more than
happy to add you to the project.

Cheers,
