Then why not suggest --with-default-make-target=exploded-image below?

Turn this behavior off by right clicking on the java.base module, then "properties", then set "Never" to the question of "Build before running tests."  I *THINK* NB 12 no longer does a rebuild, but in case you don't and you end up with a long delay, this might be the problem.

Still "always" by default.

Do you know if there is a way to configure jtreg options. For example, I want -nr to avoid test report.
