Sorry about the long delay in my reply.

You could modify Mauve to test any class that you care to.  You can
just drop in tests for any class, whether or not it appears in the
various Java specs.

The docs are rather weak, I agree.  The README file provides some
info.  You can also read gnu/testlet/SimpleTestHarness.java to find
out about the public interface.

Mauve's test harness isn't really that complicated.  You could write a
new one with little effort.
