identifying test suites?

I am trying to see how to run some of the tests on the bsd-port of jdk. 
7. There is something which may seem too obvious for words to someone  
immersed in the platform, but I do not see it. I have seen several  
documents on running the JavaTest harness. For example, see: http://openjdk.java.net/groups/conformance/docs/JCK6bUsersGuide/html/p13.html

There is always a step skipped, the one where one selets a test suite.  
How is a test suite identified? Seeing http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/JCPtools2/CtorTests.java 
, I guessed that it would override  
javasoft.sqe.javatest.lib.MultiTest. Nope. Does it include the word  
"Suite" in its source? Grepped for that and did not find much. Grepped  
for "Test" and found too much to read through.

In the document referenced above, I see this:

    1. Choose Start a new test run on the Welcome to the JavaTest  
Harness screen. Click Next
    2. Choose Create a new configuration on the Configuration screen.  
Click Next.

When I run 'java -jar javatest.jar' and select the 'File->Open Quick  
Start Wizard...' menu option, and select 'Start a new test run' and  
hit <Next>, I get a window that says "Which test suite do you want to  
use?" I guess this would be step 1 and 1/2. So, what test suite do I  
want to use?

thanx - ray
