some questions for TestNG support in Jtreg

[Jonathan Gibbons]

Patrick,

Sorry, you can't do what you want.  You'll have to move your tests 
around a bit.

If you nominate the directory containing a1 and a2 to be a TestNG 
directory, then *all* the Java files under that directory will be 
treated as TestNG tests within the same package hierarchy.  You can't 
mix and match  having some files (like those in a1 and a2) exsiting 
within a package name space and other files (like those in a3/b3) in the 
unnamed package yet existing within an enclosing package name space.

This is no different from having any files existing in a package 
hierachy -- generally, no other tools would encourage this sort of 
organization, and jtreg is no exception.

I suggest you either move a1, a2 down a level, as in

==========
testng/a1/b1/Test1.java
testng/a2/b2/Test2.java
a3/b3/Test3.java
==========

or somewhat equivalently, move a3 up a directory level.
