> Hi,
> As you might have noted, Jon has recently pushed [1] the initial version of the IntelliJ jtreg plugin that Chris and I have been working hard to put together. This plugin allows you to run jtreg tests without leaving the IDE. As tests are executed, a green/red progress bar is displayed (similar to standard junit test support). Test output (jtr files) can also be recovered within the IDE. There are a number of options that can be configured when running tests - some global, some test-specific - this should allow you to fine tune jtreg execution to reproduce the combination of settings that you use today.
> 
> In addition to test execution, this plugin also allows you to debug tests, which is a feature I find very handy for complex tests.
> 
> Finally, this plugin interacts with the way in which IntelliJ discovers sources in your project - so with the plugin enabled, IntelliJ can 'understand' the sourcepath of a test, which will eliminate all the red squiggly lines from your tests.
> 
> For a more detailed documentation of the plugin functionalities, as well as to how to build and install the plugin, please refer to this document [2].

> Happy testing
