Sure, I get that, and I'd love to be able to use NetBeans to run tests.
But I've never been able to get it to work.

Let's say I have built the JDK project.  I then, asz the documentation
says, use *Test Project* from NetBeans.  What then happens is that I
then get

/home/aph/jdk/make/jdk/netbeans/common/shared.xml:239: You must define jtreg.tests to select some tests to run.

I have tried setting jtreg.tests to all manner of things, and none
of them work.  A single example of a jtreg.tests= string that works
would get me a very long way.
