When I asked why this dept was using a CPU heavy/Java test harness rather than one written (and written well, ot course) in C, I was told (under the table) that long ago, it was a political decision! It would have hurt more people's feelings to choose the C one over the Java one!

Well if the code being tested is Java I'd go the Java route too. Keeping the testing framework and the code being tested in the same language usually makes things much easier.

If I were you I'd just start things moving to one of the decent Java frameworks. TestNG is very nice, and the latest JUnit is pretty good too.
