Strangely enough it still doesn't really run for me.

But I did experiment a bit with eclipse and mauve and came up with a
simple SingleTestHarness which can be used with a Runner for quickly
testing a mauve Testlet that you are working on:

2005-12-21  Mark Wielaard  <mark@klomp.org>

        * gnu/testlet/SingleTestHarness.java: New file.

With this you can define a simple runner that uses this class with as
argument ${java_type_name}.

A cool trick here is to do the following:

$ mkdir -p ~/workspace/classpath/install/jre/lib
$ touch ~/workspace/classpath/install/jre/lib/rt.jar

Now you can go to Preferences -> Java -> JRE and add your
workspace/classpath/install as alternative installed jre. Then you can
use this alternative jre for the above runner to get it to test your
mauve Testlets against your the classpath project. Pretty cool :)

Cheers,

Mark
