Arnaud,

There are definitely ways to do what you want. Runner doesn't require
a Java class, it just happens that almost all of the provided
subclasses do have a Java class.

How are you planning to run the overall test suite? Depending on that
answer, it may work best to have a "stand-in" Java class that serves
as the root of your C++ suite.
