Once upon a time, the ETF was supposed to allow running tests locally via an Ant task. But the instructions in /org.eclipse.test/testframework.html under "Running the Test Suite from the UI" don't really work in HEAD.

When I try to run e.g. performance-suite from /org.eclipse.jdt.text.tests/test.xml, I run into a bunch of issues:

* testframework.html is unclear about how I have to install the 2 plug-ins. When I look at /org.eclipse.test/library.xml, I see references to various conflicting locations:
- JaCoCo refers to ${basedir}/plugins/org.eclipse.test_${org.eclipse.test}/lib/jacocoagent.jar
- junit-stylesheet refers to ${eclipse-home}/dropins/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.test/JUNIT.XSL
- testframework.html refers to <property name="library-file" value="${eclipse-home}/fragments/org.eclipse.test/library.xml"/>, but the example contains 	<property name="library-file"
            value="${eclipse-home}/plugins/org.eclipse.test/library.xml"/>

* The recommended default
<property name="eclipse-home" value="${basedir}\..\.."/> 
looks strange. If the Ant script is run locally (in the same JRE as the workspace), then the "eclipse.home" property is pre-defined (note the '.' instead of the '-'). Looks like that's the one that should be used.
