Such a scenario isn't supported by `PassFailJFrame` at the moment, see [JDK-8357455](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8357455) and [#24439 (comment)](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/24439#discussion_r2100038079). There's no easy workaround.

Yes, this is the simplest way.

Another option is to have a driver class. For example, if no arguments are passed to `main`, the test gets the list of all available or specific L&F as hard-coded now, then runs the same test with a parameter that specifies a L&F to test. The driver then captures both standard output and error streams of the process and throws an exception if the exit code from the subprocess isn't 0.

The first approach is simpler as it uses jtreg to run the test with different parameters.
