Coming soon: second generation prototype of Hg forest consolidation

[Igor Ignatyev]

(moved to hotspot-dev alias)

Hi Erik,

I have a question about test/hotspot layout. when we started jep 281[1], we deliberately selected not to use harness/framework names in directory and the proposed the following layout for hotspot tests was
> For clarity the tests should not be mixed with existing jtreg tests; instead, they should be split in two directories. We propose to split the current jdk9/hotspot/test directory into two subdirectories:
> 	• jdk9/hotspot/test/java
> 	• jdk9/hotspot/test/native


now the consolidated repo[2] has test/hotspot/jtreg and test/hotspot/gtest and directories. hence I'm wondering why you have renamed the directories, there were any problems w/ the originally proposed layout?

Thanks,
-- Igor
