Yes, JSR166TestCase provides a number of different tests in that one source file.

I think the confusion has to do with """jtreg supports TestNG tests in two ways.""" I'm confused by your confusion. Can you say more, so that I can try and improve the text in this area? faq says: """The feature is supported in normal Java tests, in shell tests, and in legacy applet tests. (It is not supported in JUnit or TestNG tests, which do not use explicit test descriptions.)""" But ... Both JUnit and TestNG tests can use """explicit test descriptions""".  Unless they are Type 2 tests as described in 6.2 Further confusion - there's documented support for running "implicit" testng tests but I don't see any such support for junit.  E.g. there's no documented junit.dirs I can put into TEST.ROOT.

OK, thanks for the clarifications;  I will address them in updates to the FAQ.
