That effectively means that the changes being tested aren't tested against the actual changed code in jtreg and the test results can be misleading.

Without this change, some of the tests fail because they end up picking a jtreg installation which doesn't have some recent changes that are available in this git repo (that's what prompted me to investigate this issue).
