What is the JUnit XML format specification that Hudson supports?

I have Hudson as continuous integration server and I want to use option 'Publish JUnit test result report'. But I don't use xUnit tools for testing, instead of that i have shell scripts which run tests and return results in simple format. I am thinking to make a script which transforms these results to the JUnit format. So i'm interesting how the JUnit file must look?

I did a similar thing a few months ago, and it turned out this simple format was enough for Hudson to accept it as a test protocol:

<testsuite tests="3">
    <testcase classname="foo1" name="ASuccessfulTest"/>
    <testcase classname="foo2" name="AnotherSuccessfulTest"/>
    <testcase classname="foo3" name="AFailingTest">
        <failure type="NotEnoughFoo"> details about failure </failure>
    </testcase>
</testsuite>
