test with a 3rd party jar file?

[Chris Hegarty]

The streams package recently added tests for exercising package-private

Top level dir contain the TEST.properties to add to the bootclasspath:

 
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8/tl/jdk/file/510035b7bbbb/test/java/util/stream/boottest/

Example, individual test, whose test is in the java.util.stream package:

 
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8/tl/jdk/file/510035b7bbbb/test/java/util/stream/boottest/java/util/stream/DoubleNodeTest.java
