How to rerun failed tests?

[Reingruber, Richard]

Hi,

I'd like to rerun failed tests from a previous test run like this:

make test TEST=jtreg:test/hotspot/jtreg:tier1 JTREG_STATUS=fail,error

This is not working because the workdir from the previous run is deleted.

Is there a way to rerun failed tests that I might have missed?

If there isn't, it could be achieved with the small change below. Not sure if
that's the desired way to do it though.

Thanks, Richard.
