RFR(S): JDK-8165500: TestJpsJar shouldn't jar all test.classpath directories

[Daniel Fuchs]

Hi Dmitry,

I wonder whether failures can be caused by adding
the classes in the wrong order...

If you have -cp a:b:c - the class loader will look
at a first, then b, then c.

But if you create a jar and adds a first, b second, and
c last, then it's equivalent to -cp c:b:a

Could there be an issue there?

best regards,
