Konstantin.  How are you trying to run the tests?  What version of 
Eclipse are you using, the code in head needs to have Eclipse 3.5.

I was able to successfully run the wst.jsdt.core.tests.compiler tests suite.

I did have problems getting the jsdt.core.tests.model tests to run. 
Honestly, I'm not sure how accurate most of those really are.   What I 
did find out is that not all of the tests are run during a build.  There 
are many invalid or just plain wrong tests.

The test suites that are run typically are:

JSDTCompilerTests
JSDTModelTests

org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.web.ui.tests
AllWebUITests

org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.web.core.tests
AllWebCoreTests

I'll open a bug against JSDT to see if we can get the extraneous tests 
removed or at least working and added to the test suite.
