Just check out the whole project:
http://www.jboss.org/jsfunit/source-repository.html

And run it:
http://www.jboss.org/jsfunit/building-jsfunit.html

Also see "Building and Running Tests" at the bottom of this page:

I only use it from Maven (and I do some antrun stuff from Maven so I can 
test an Ant environment).  This is the way I run the JSFUnit test 
suite.  I don't see why I would want to use the Cargo API directly.  I 
can just declare everything in Maven or Ant and I'm ready to run tests.  
The improvement I see for Embedded would be mostly about speed and ease 
of configuration.  Right now the default container for Cargo is Jetty.  
But with a fast startup time, I can see Embedded taking Jetty's place.
