Correct.

Neither Classpath or Mauve uses Java assertions!  Both are designed to
be compilable without relying on Java language extensions from JDK 1.4.

You can count the Mauve testcase files yourself.  The testcase files
that are compiled and run in a specific regression depends on the 'keys'
file you use.  Each testcase file typically contains a number of
individual subtests; i.e. calls to a 'harness.check(..)' method.

For the classpath/kissme regression, I'm not sure how many testcase
files get included.  The regression runs over 10000 subtests, and
roughly 145 are currently failing.

It is worth noting that a significant number of subtests fail when
you run them on a Sun JDK.  Sometimes the testcase is at fault, and
sometimes the fault lies in the JDK.

What do you mean by "green"?

See above.  Neither Mauve or Classpath use Java assertions.
