What kind of testing? What kinds of errors are you trying to catch? JUnitEE is great for testing business logic, but if you want to exercise Maverick controllers you either need Mock Objects for the maverick/servlet objects or you need to test them live in the servlet container. If you're testing them in the servlet container, you really need something like HTTPUnit - you're not really running JUnit tests, you're exercising the HTTP frontend.
Personally, I focus on unit testing the business logic (stored in EJBs and application-domain classes) and leave the frontend logic (including Maverick controllers) to eyeball functional testing. Since I've pushed all the high-risk logic into the backend, testing the frontend is more a question of "is it formatted properly" rather than "does it display the right numbers". If you have unit tests for your business classes, and load test scripts to verify that you get the right pages when you navigate your application, you should be pretty well covered.
