Unit Test of standard lib

[Roger Riggs]

Hi,

The tests in the JDK has been accumulating for two plus decades and 
several different frameworks
have been used over time.  More recent tests use the TestNG framework as 
supported
by jtreg.    Some developers prefer the direct usefulness of main with 
no extra work to
setup and run individual tests as is needed for debugging.

$.02, Roger
