Looks better than it was.

The test indeed seems to use too many resources for the value it provides. Here's what the test reports on my machine. Before the change:

Skipped 1 locales
Tested 1015 locales

After the change:

Skipped 623 locales
Tested 393 locales

For me, the change cuts the execution time from 20 seconds to 13. While it's good, it is still too long to reasonably test that the locale passed as an argument to javax.tools.DocumentationTool#getTask reaches the doclet. BTW, is there a test that exercises passing the locale through the CLI?
