Latka does allow parameterization of tests via preprocessing of the test suite document. It goes like this
From test-suite.xml
<suite defaultHost="${DEFAULT_HOST}" defaultPort="80" label="foo">
then on the command line
$ latka.sh <test-suite-url> prop:DEFAULT_HOST=foo.example.com
While this topic is up could someone commit my documentation patch for latka? It's still useful to the current alpha release even though it appears that Morgan is removing XML parsing support from latka, and replacing it with Jelly.

Can some of the Latka experts please comment on how Latka compares to Anteater (which emerged from Cocoon)?
I've worked on both projects, and like both for different reasons.
Latka pros: - Strong typing via a DTD. - Internally, it's got a very nice delegating-SAX-handler model for adding new elements. - Decent XML reporting. - After all Dion's work, it's docs are rather good.
Latka cons: - A PITA to compile, due to it's many dependencies. Hopefully that's changed with Maven. - The XML file is a bit hard to comprehend at first, due to the use of &entities; - Inflexible XML syntax (see below for definition of 'flexible':)
Anteater pros: - It's based on Ant (it's really a bunch of Ant tasks). This makes it wonderfully flexible: - I can parametrize tests, by defining variables like ${host}, ${port}, ${debuglevel} as properties, and reuse them throughout the script.
