Creating jar files as part of a test?

[Jonathan Gibbons]

If you are going to use test.classes, then

a) you probably want your test to be the only test in its containing 
directory -- otherwise you'll get the classes from other tests in your 
jar file
b) you probably don't want to use library code (@library) because those 
classes will be stored somewhere else.

I should have clarified that of course one option is to simply run the jar tool programmatically :) But in that case I don't know how to tell it where to find the files that jtreg has compiled - are they simply in the current working directory? (Guess I can find out readily enough :) ).
