    I request to review a change for "8030035 - Create a stable<br>
    test group in TEST.groups"<br>
    <br>
    <a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext"

    <br>
    <u>Background</u>: The test results [1] for JDK 8 ea build were <br>
    produced using a long list of test directories [2] as described<br>
    in the test execution instruction [3]. The above proposed<br>
    change is taking  advantage of jtreg group [4] feature to<br>
    specify collections of tests and, therefore, eliminates the <br>
    requirement of maintaining custom test directories [2] for<br>
    weekly test execution.<br>
    <br>
    The above change simplify the jdk/test execution to:<br>
           jtreg <jtreg/vm options> :jdk_stable<br>
    <br>
    <br>
    <br>
    Thanks<br>
