Hi Igor,

I'm not Erik but this got my attention :)

Mea culpa but I never paid much attention to JEP 281 so was unaware of 
the proposal for "java" and "native" subdirectories. If I had noticed it 
I would have objected as the names are not indicative of the contents. I 
think naming based on the testing framework makes much more sense: jtreg 
and gtest.

My 2c.
