I'm thinking that instead of a bunch of unrelated configuration values and constants, perhaps a single object that contains all of them, that can be passed to the constructor.
BeforeSuite/AfterSuite: Have to look into this; right now, T5's tests start up a series of different applicaitions to test various odds and ends. Perhaps we could juggle it to just start/stop Jetty and leave Selenium (server and browser app) running the whole time?
