JTReg tests results on other ports

[Scott Palmer]

The issue is this error which occurs quite a bit when I try to run the tests:

	JUnit not available: see the FAQ or online help for details

Except the only mention in the FAQ (http://openjdk.java.net/jtreg/faq.html) is:


1.13. Why not use JUnit?

JUnit was not around when we started writing tests for JDK. And, the test tag specification has been specifically designed for testing JDK, with support for testing applets, command-line interfaces, and so on, as well as simple API tests.

And by now, there are many thousands of tests written for jtreg, so it would not be practical to convert to JUnit.



Not exactly helpful.
