You are welcome :)

Since I wrote the patch (and wasn't ashamed enough to not post it
publicly), I am fine with it. It could use a review from others.

An alternate fix might be to stop (ab)using bootcalpath instead. Perhaps
-Xbootclasspath/a: might suffice.

Hm.. still seems a little bit out of scope for junit but okay :)

No, adding just the awt support cant hurt that much.

But we might want to take a step back at some point and ensure we are
using the right tool for the right task. JUnit is meant for unit tests
not for integration tests (our reproducers or complex applications). We
are writing quite a bit of extra code to do what we want (and that code
will have bugs). Is there something that can make our lives easier instead?
