How do I programmatically run all the JUnit tests in my Java application?

Question

From Eclipse I can easily run all the JUnit tests in my application.

I would like to be able to run the tests on target systems from the application jar, without Eclipse

According to a recent thread on the JUnit mailing list, ClasspathSuite can collect and run all JUnit tests on the classpath. It is not precisely what you want, since it is a class-level annotation, but the source is available, so you may be able to extend its internal discovery mechanism.
