Summary: Change Exception for better IDE integration

Initial Comment:
Currently XMLTestCase.assertXMLEqual results in a junit.framework.AssertionFailedError 

If no message is specified the output is as follows
junit.framework.AssertionFailedError: org.custommonkey.xmlunit.Diff
[different] Expected element tag name 'uuid' but was 'localId' - comparing <uuid...> at /msg[1]/uuid[1] to <localId...> at /msg[1]/localId[1]

A small change would make use of existing IDE integrations for junit which highlight the text difference (see attached screenshot)

The screenshot was create by throwing the following exception: 

 throw new ComparisonFailure(
                "Expected element tag name 'uuid' but was 'localId' - comparing <uuid...> at /msg[1]/uuid[1] to <localId...> at /msg[1]/localId[1]",
                "<msg><uuid>0x00435A8C</uuid></msg>",
                "<msg><localId>2376</localId></msg>");

which resulted in the message:

junit.framework.ComparisonFailure: Expected element tag name 'uuid' but was 'localId' - comparing <uuid...> at /msg[1]/uuid[1] to <localId...> at /msg[1]/localId[1] expected:<<msg><[uuid>0x00435A8C</uui]d></msg>> but was:<<msg><[localId>2376</localI]d></msg>>

Nothing critical - just an idea :-)

btw: good work
