Possibility to log ignored tests

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to write custom reporting facility using JUnit rules.

Quick example:

public class Example {
@ClassRule
public static TestWatcher classWatcher = new TestWatcher() {
@Override
protected void starting(Description description) {
// Initialize stuff
// Log header
}

@Override
protected void finished(Description description) {
// Log footer with metrics from counters (total, succeeded, failed, skipped)
}

};

@Rule
public TestWatcher testWatcher = new TestWatcher() {
@Override
protected void succeeded(Description description) {
// Log succeeded
// Increment succeeded counter
}

@Override
protected void failed(Throwable e, Description description) {
// Log failed
// Increment failed counter
}

@Override
protected void skipped(AssumptionViolatedException e, Description
description) {
// Log skipped
// Increment skipped counter
}

@Override
protected void starting(Description description) {
// Log started
}

@Override
protected void finished(Description description) {
// Log failed
// Increment total counter
}
};

    @Test
    @Ignore
    public void test1() {}

    @Test
    public void test2() {}
}

Issue here is that tests with @Ignore annotation are not handled by JUnit
rules. Therefore I cannot get any information about ignored tests, and all
my metrics will be wrong.

From the JUnit source code I can see that if test is marked with @Ignore
only RunNotifier object will be notified about ignore and that test will
not be passed to rules.

Got two questions here:
1. How can I fix my metrics? The only way I can see is to manually count
methods with @Ignore annotation via reflection and apply this offset to all
metrics. Is there any other ways to do that?
2. Why presence of @Ignore does not behave like failed assumption? I guess
that this is because of backward compatibility, is it correct?

Thanks.
