Specifying Tests to Run

You can open an existing configuration file and then specify one or more individual tests or branches of tests for the test run. Use the tests command to specify one or more tests:

> jtharness ... [initial set-up commands] ... -tests api/javax_swing api/java_awt... [task command] ...

See About the Command-Line Examples for a description of the use of > jtharness in the example.

See Command-Line Overview for a detailed description of the command line structure.
