There are (at least) three kinds of Java tests.  There are the
regression tests in OpenJDK which are fully open, the JCK which is
licenced but free to use for OpenJDK users, and a some Oracle-only
internal tests.

The JCK tests an implementation for Java compatibility, so it'll not
stress your FileSystemProvider.

There are also some test suites that are external to OpenJDK itself,
such as jcstress for concurrency.
