Doesn't this accomplish this goal?

No, it doesn't replace the (outdated) built-in machinery in jtreg for `manual=yesno`. At the same time, it provides a building block to update those tests.

I like this approach better, in which a test can be easily run without the need for jtreg, I think it greatly simplifies debugging and updating the test.

However, you're right that `applet/manual=yesno` in jtreg can be reimplemented using this new class `PassFailJFrame` even though it's not a goal at this very time. Initially I interpreted your suggestion as replacing all `manual` tests, which doesn't seem a right thing to do because it will break all existing manual tests.
