[8u-dev] Request for review: JDK-8151295: runtime/ErrorHandling fails when using jtreg 4.1 b13

[Chris Plummer]

See the following CR for an explanation of the below use of 
external.lib.roots:

JDK-8140189: [TESTBUG] Get rid of "@library /../../test/lib" in jtreg tests
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8140189

Your use case is a bit different, and I don't see how the JDK9 setting 
of external.lib.roots would resolve it. However, I also don't see how 
this test currently is working in JDK9 unless jtreg treats <ws> as an 
implied external.lib.roots, in which case this fix would not be needed 
in 8u either. Maybe John can shed some light on this.

BTW, com.oracle.java.testlibrary no longer exists in JDK9.

cheers,

Chris
