Kitchen-sink language problems on mac

Christian,
I believe I've identified the issue which you fixed by adding the line
<arg value="tools/javac"/>
There is a minor change in behaviour for jtreg 3.2.2_02, to fix a problem
with the way that jtreg executes tests specified in an Ant task. (Ant
support
in jtreg is a relatively new feature.)
The problem is caused by competing behaviors in jtreg and Ant, as to who
should expand directories. On the command line, jtreg will expand any
directories you give it into a list of the tests in that directory.
Depending
on what exactly you write, Ant can also expand a directory into a list
of files
and subdirectories. We need to make sure that jtreg does not expand
any directories that have also been expanded by Ant.
The solution we decided on was that if you use an Ant fileset to specify
the set of tests to be run, jtreg will just look at the files in the
fileset,
and not any directories implicit in the fileset.
This means that instead of specifying the directory
<include name="tools/javac"/>
you should specify the set of files, by
<include name="tools/javac/**"/>
or even just
<include name="tools/javac/"/>
which means the same thing. (Note the trailing slash after javac.)
Or, you can do as you did, and specify a directory as an arg for jtreg,
in which case jtreg will itself expand the directory.
