I just took them from Classpath to see how hard it would be to convert their tests to this framework. If these tests are broken, we should fix or remove them.

At some point we need to figure out a set of tags that can be used to describe "interesting" subsets of the full class library functionality. For instance, we're going to want a way to avoid running any test that uses floating point (because we'll be able to build an FP-less library). Likewise for threads. Maybe Unicode support is a candidate for this. This does mean that we'll have to "artificially" split tests along lines according to these subsets, and not always along the most natural functional lines. I don't think this is a real problem though. Tom
