@cl4es So basically this is the line you're objecting to? 

I can remove the change in RunTests.gmk for this patch. That way the wb.jar will be available, but additional work is needed for the micros to access it. But that might, as you say, perhaps be solved within the micros themselves, by annotations or whatever.

Does that sound reasonable?
