Definitely agree.

I wasn't quite sure where to put it.  Moved to java/lang/System 
(assuming you didn't actually mean java/util/System).

Thanks, fixed.

When practical, I like to test and report all tested conditions (instead 
of failing fast).  I think it helps provide scope to a failure, just 
from looking at the test report.  Bit of a personal preference, I guess. 
  I can change it to fail fast if that's preferred.

I do think an exception stack trace is easier to spot to someone just 
glancing through test results.  So I now have the flag and an exception 
- hope that's okay. :)
