Hi Chris,

Thanks for the information!  I'll give it a try.

Do you mean TEST.properties need to be in the top level directory (e.g. 
javax/xml/jaxp), can it be put anywhere that contains a block of tests?

In my particular case, I only want to run a single test with the jar 
file on the bootclasspath.

Thanks,
Joe
