Two separate issues. 1/ Do we hook the build to the tests or the suites. I've updated the pom.xml to point to *Test rather than to talk to the suites. I'd delete the build.xml, but I suspect people would complain. So any *Test should be hooked up now and ongoing. 2/ Do we keep the suites around for some kind of value. Given that all the tests take 23 seconds on my not new laptop, I'm not seeing a great need to have to keep remembering to add a Test to the Suite.
