[xwiki-dev] Let JUnit test work with files

Adding about 150 lines (html and xwiki) makes the test file very very
big. I have here
laying much bigger html files (400 lines because of the <style> stuff)
and I dont
want to add them.

But is very hard to add 150 lines of a String to the source. Have a look at:

         html =  "<table border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0
style='border-collapse:collapse;"
             + "border:none;mso-border-alt:solid windowtext

             + " <tr>"
             + "  <td width=179 valign=top
style='width:107.15pt;border:solid windowtext .5pt;"
             + "  padding:0cm 3.5pt 0cm 3.5pt'>"

             + "  <p class=MsoNormal

Doing copy and paste in a file is much easier to handle...

> 3/ Much faster

For me its no problem if the test is a little bit slower... the quality of tests
are much important.
