>> We routinely CTW 3rd party JARs to make sure our compilers work. By the nature of the JARs, they have dependencies on other JARs, and CTW runner frequently warns out with NCDFE. It does so very crudely, missing opportunities to compile the methods that _do not_ trigger NCDFEs. CTW should be made more tolerant to this. I think the normal "modules" CTW runs into the similar problem, but on a lesser scale, as we do not have a very hairy dependency graph within JDK.
