Description klaasjanelzinga 2009-05-05 07:56:43 UTC
The test results panel (which looks great btw, the gradient in the progress bar, wow!) does not show the 'caused by'
from a stacktrace (shown for failing tests).

In our project we wrap a lot of exceptions to runtime exceptions. The underlying exception is not available in the gui.
The runtime exception itself does not report much usefullness.

I would just add that not being able to see base exceptions (and other sysout output) makes building tests using JUnit in Netbeans quite painful (I'm using 8.0.2). 

Basically the work-around is to either use debug or build them as normal class under Source Packages. Hence voted for.
