Under the $MISTLETOE/mistletoe-test folder you will find a
web-application which can be run tests either using the basic servlet
api or mistletoe-wicket, the latter as the name indicates depends on
wicket.

Mistletoe runs junit test suites within the deployed
web-application. We use it to run tests in our production environment
to see if the application is deployed correctly.

Mistletoe is just a junit test suite runner. It does not come with
any assertions on its own. it does not provide any features beyond
what is available under junit, except that the tests are run from
within the web-app so that you have access to whatever the web-app has
access to.
