Rework runner concept / intellij or eclipse formatter file?

I think the runner concept is one of the bigger flaws in junit. If you want
a certain behaviour you need to use a specific runner. Often you will want
more than just one behaviour. For example you may want the spring runner
with junit and jparams behaviour. Sometimes you will find a way to makr
that work. Sometimes you just dont. A rework of the runner-concept,
introducing something like a chain for the behaviour-part would be a good
idea, i guess. This could either be achieved by introducing a runner that
does the work or by introducing this concept deeper into the framework. How
are your thoughts on this? It could only work well when introduced to junit
and the old concept would get marked deprecated as this makes
runner-providers like spring migrate to the new concept. I would be willing
to give it a try and implement this if you think its a good idea. Another
thing: anyone got junit formatter file?
