Hi Anthony,
I tried the scenario you suggested, but it doesn't work. And I found
the jtreg spec says:
' A "main" action is
considered to be finished when the main method returns; if a test involves
multiple threads, some synchronization may be necessary to ensure that the
other threads finish their work before the thread running the main method
returns. '
Then I tried to join TimerQueue in main, but it always blocks. So I
started a new process
to wait instead.
I tested and found the "/" separated path works on windows, it is not a
problem :)
