[JENKINS-21565] In case of MultipleFailureException Jenkins test results show only the last failure

If a JUnit test fails for example in the @​Test method and in the @​After method, JUnit throws a MultipleFailureException containing both failures.

Jenkins' test result page shows only the last failure (the one from the @​After method), the more important one from the @​Test method is not shown.

The JUnit xml file created by Ant contains two / elements for this test case. One is just not shown.

Raw content of original issue

If a JUnit test fails for example in the @Test method and in the @After method, JUnit throws a MultipleFailureException containing both failures.

Jenkins' test result page shows only the last failure (the one from the @After method), the more important one from the @Test method is not shown.

The JUnit xml file created by Ant contains two <error>/<failure> elements for this test case. One is just not shown.

environment

```
Ant 1.9.3, Java 1.7.0_51

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
```

Start by reproducing the case with an Ant-generated JUnit XML file containing multiple error or failure elements, then trace how the Jenkins test result page reads and displays that test case. Done means the page shows both failures, including the failure from the @Test method and the one from the @After method.
