I have something similar for antunit (unit test written as ant script). I
wanted to integrate antunit test with the IDE (mostly to run the ant tasks
in a java debugger).

I have written a Runner (AntUnitSuiteRunner) that you can use to run a
'proxy' that can be detected by your IDE.
Then, there is a simple protocal between my runner and the 'proxy' class.

It looks like this :

@RunWith(AntUnitSuiteRunner.class)
public class EatYourOwnDogFoodTest {

public static TestSuite suite() {
File script = new File("src/etc/testcases/antunit/java-io.xml");
return new AntUnitSuite(script, EatYourOwnDogFoodTest.class);
}

}
