I'm not sure what "test harness" and "test jar" means here but just
to say that jrt-fs.jar is in the JDK run-time. When an IDE running
on JDK X needs to build/run a project for target JDK Y then it will
use the jrt file system to access the classes in the target JDK.
jrt-fs.jar is the provider implementation that JDK X will load to do
this.<br>
