I have a test that compares a large blob of expected XML with the actual XML received. If the XML is significantly different, the actual XML is written to disk for analysis and the test fails.
I would prefer to use assertEquals so that I can compare the XML more easily in Eclipse - but this could lead to very large JUnit and CruiseControl logs.
Is there a way I can change a JUnit test behaviour depending on whether it's running through Eclipse or through Ant.

Which methods cannot be tested by the JUnit test class? Explanation: When a method is declared as “private”, it can only be accessed within the same class. So there is no way to test a “private” method of a target class from any JUnit test class.
To use JUnit you must create a separate . java file in your project that will test one of your existing classes. In the Package Explorer area on the left side of the Eclipse window, right-click the class you want to test and click New → JUnit Test Case. A dialog box will pop up to help you create your test case.
Here are 2 solutions.
Use system properties
boolean isEclipse() {
return System.getProperty("java.class.path").contains("eclipse");
}
Use stacktrace
boolean isEclipse() {
Throwable t = new Throwable();
StackTraceElement[] trace = t.getStackTrace();
return trace[trace.length - 1].getClassName().startsWith("org.eclipse");
}
Yes - you can test if certain osgi properties are set (System.getProperty("osgi.instance.area") for instance). They will be empty if junit is started through ant outside of eclipse.
