I've found the IBM Jacks project to be a great starting point:

http://oss.software.ibm.com/developerworks/oss/cvs/jikes/~checkout~/jacks/jacks.html

Although there are some runtime tests intended to test how a compiler 
compiles based on how the compiled output runs, most tests are 
compile-time test cases that proved quite useful as a basis for Java 
cross reference tests, not to mention basic Java parser tests.  
Unfortunately, their scripts are written in TCL, but if you're 
comfortable hacking TCL or plan to just reuse the source files, Jacks is 
a nice starting point.

Hope this helps.
