I had a very quick look at TestNG[0] and I think it could be a good
approach: no need to change the mauve test classes, just invoke the
tests with TestNG. There is an eclipse plugin that display the running
tests like JUnit.
TestNG use a tag feature like we have in mauve (JDK1.1, JDK1.2, ...) and
we can add other groups like swing, nio, etc. Those tags can be
annotations or javadoc comments (with @ and I think it's processed with
xdoclet).
As I understood (but I did not read all the documentation), the very big
advantage Mauve can take in adopting TestNG (vs JUnit?) is that we
shouldn't have to re-write all the test cases!
