jtreg cannot be run against a pre-built/downloaded JDK anymore?

[Jaikiran Pai]

I got past this with an extensive workaround for now. I moved/copied 
that test case java file outside of the JDK source tree, then created a 
new/custom TEST.ROOT which is very minimal and has no reference to 
whitebox for bootlibs, then made sure the jtwork directory is also 
outside of the JDK source tree (so that the test is compiled afresh) and 
then ran that test. That helped, but it's only for this test since its 
requirements in the test are very minimal. I don't see a way to get past 
this if I have to run the wider range of jtreg tests that reside in the 
JDK source tree against a pre-built/downloaded Java 17 or any previous 
versions.
