HtmlUnit plugin

The following sample testcases illustrate the conciseness of JWebUnit versus HtmlUnit and JUnit alone. The tests perform a google search for the HtmlUnit home page, navigate to that page from Google, and validate that there is a link to the user manual on the HtmlUnit home page. The code in the first column is pure HtmlUnit / JUnit, while the second column uses the JWebUnit framework.
