Welcome!

Hey Max,

Thanks for trying it out. That's probably bit-rot in the build.xml 
file.  The Release Engineering team  use "make" as the preferred way to 
build jtreg, inside the Oracle firewall, so that is always more likely 
to work without additional configuration. I'm also not a fan of 
hard-coding Oracle pathnames in build systems, so I don't do it more 
than necessary.

For others, I generally recommend using a script to specify explicit 
values as needed on the command line or as environment variables.

For myself, I have a script that identifies the "type" of a repository, 
and I then have wrapper scripts for make, ant, jtreg etc that set up the 
necessary settings depending on whether I'm working on jdk8(top), 
jdk8/langtools, jtreg, and so on.  It's the only way to stay sane when 
you move between projects as many of us have to do.
