   how to create a junit test suite for my selenium RC tests.

   i had written 10 classes(test cases) for my testing using junit. if i run individually. no issues.

   every class has setup() and tear down() methods.in setup() i am starting up the selenium server and client.and in teardown() i am shutting down the server.

   now i want to sum up all the classes(test cases) into one test suite.

   Can any one help me for the right procedure.i am using junit4.x version.

   Thanks,
   Ramana.
