Review: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~jjg/8152897/webrev.00/index.html
This is a test-only change, which updates the ToolBox test library from
being a single top-level class in the unnamed package to a small set of
classes in a new named package. Although this does increase the amount
of overhead in the test description header, it also allows us to be more
precise in the test dependencies, such that we can reduce otherwise
unnecessary compilation dependencies. This will also make it more
practical to extend the set of supported ToolBox tasks, such as for
jmod, jlink etc, so that only tests that would want to use such tasks
would incur any need to build the tasks.
The update is primarily for javac tests, but also includes changes for
tests for jshell and sjavac which also use the ToolBox test library.
There is no significant change to the functionality of any tests. The
build dependencies have been verified by running each test separately
within jtreg, using a clean JTwork/classes directory for each test.
