Ok, got it.<br>
Wouldn't replacing call to this ant invocation by a Script step in
maven builds with a "touch target/surefire-reports/TEST-dummy.xml"
be enough?<br>
(I'm going to install Hudson locally to give a try)<br>

The reason this is often useful is that sometimes, we need to skip
tests just to get all the bits to build in the stack. Often, there
are components with long-standing test failures (looking at you,
Maven, ESB, ...) which prevent the automatic firing of downstream
jobs.
<br>
<br>
So, when I'm babysitting the builds to get out a release to QE (as
I will be this weekend), sometimes I kick jobs w/ tests disabled.
The ant script allows the job to appear to pass even if there are
no test results by generating a fake test results xml file which
Jenkins can happily parse.

Since I wrote this script, I've discovered there are other ways to
link jobs together. We are now able to remove this in favour of
just having upstream jobs ALWAYS fire their downstream regardless
of test results [1]. But is that better? Comments to this jira
[2].

I never had trouble to integrate surefire reports in Hudson, and
never
<br>
needed a script to do so. What is the added value of this one?

The Hudson config change looks like this as a pseudo-diff:
<br>
<br>
<hudson.tasks.Ant>
<br>
<targets>collect.test.results.for.hudson -q -logger
<br>
org.apache.tools.ant.NoBannerLogger</targets>
<br>
<antName>ant-1.7.x</antName>
<br>
-
<buildFile>${WORKSPACE}/build/build.xml</buildFile>

+
<br>
<buildFile>${WORKSPACE}/build/results/collect-test-results.xml</buildFile>
<br>
</hudson.tasks.Ant>

Ultimately, I'd like to remove this script entirely in favour
of
<br>
something else (eg., maven) but for now at least the code's
simpler
<br>
and will therefore be easier to rewrite.
