    Description

      Hi,

      I'm having some problems with the escaping of html specific characters (namely the < and >) in the surefire reports.

      The following example test:

         public void testShouldFail() throws Exception
    {
        fail("<html><body><h2> This Failed </h2></body></html>");
   }

      resulted in the following xml report 

      <testcase time="0" name="testShouldFail">
    <failure type="junit.framework.AssertionFailedError" message="&amp;lt;html&amp;gt;&amp;lt;body&amp;gt;&amp;lt;h2&amp;gt; This Failed &amp;lt;/h2&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/body&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/html&amp;gt;">
junit.framework.AssertionFailedError: &amp;html&amp;&amp;body&amp;&amp;h2&amp; This Failed &amp;/h2&amp;&amp;/body&amp;&amp;/html&amp;
	at junit.framework.Assert.fail(Assert.java:47)
	at FailingTest.testShouldFail(FailingTest.java:7)
   </failure>
</testcase>

      The text in the "message' attribute has been correctly escaped but the text within the <failure> tags seems to just have & for any of the html characters.
