Running tests

[Kelly O'Hair]

Did you get any reply on this?

I must confess that I am confused by this email, as far as I know the testing via test/Makefile doesn't have much to do with
the build make logic used. But maybe I am missing something.

Back in May I remember that Magnus added a test target with a TEST variable that would pass test targets through the existing/old Makefile. I'm just wondering if that will change or where this might go. I could imagine configure being run with the location of jtreg for example. I could imagine test targets having a dependency on an up to date build. At the same time I could imagine wanting to run tests and specify a different JDK to run the tests on (someone might want to run tests with the newly built JDK and some other JDK so that they can compare results for example).
