Dave,

I am just trying to run the existing tests on the existing code of the
build15 drop. Running them from either NB or the command line gives the
same result - failure or error, except for certain shell tests. For
example, I can clean and build the JMX project from NB, but when I try
to run the tests some early .sh tests pass, but anything involving java
files fails or (occasionally) errors. This indicates that jtreg is
finding the tests, but not finding the appropriate JDK.

My .openjdk/build.properties contains:

bootstrap.jdk=/usr/java/jdk1.7.0
jtreg.home = /home/pbw/src/jtreg
make.options=\
            ALT_BOOTDIR=/usr/java/jdk1.6.0 \
            ALT_CLOSED_JDK_IMPORT_PATH=/usr/java/jdk1.7.0 \
            ALT_JDK_IMPORT_PATH=/usr/java/jdk1.7.0 \
            ALT_MOTIF_DIR=/home/pbw/src/openmotif

The ALT_MOTIF_DIR is ineffective for building the JDK, as I mentioned
earlier.
