Your fix is fine as all the test files follow the convention to
put under ".".

My question was led by these methods in the Utils class:

  static void pack(JarFile jarFile, File packFile)
  static void unpackj(File inFile, JarOutputStream jarStream)

For example Pack200Test calls these methods by passing a File object
and JarOutputStream and the test itself uses the basename that
makes sure that the file is in ".".  Is the cleanup() trying to
delete the files created during pack and unpack in the test?
That's what my comment is about.
